Joe needed the Brahmin John Kerry to come in with his folksy ways and say, 'Can I get me a tissue here?'

I rather enjoyed it.

   I saw over half of Trumps speech, It was GOOD as SOTU's go, I guess.  I was referring to the guy that just serviced Pelosi for the gig, he flat out suxs.  @Cyber Liberty

Kennedy's speech summed up:

"We hate you people. You're nothing like us. You don't reflect our values. We will fight you to the bitter end."

FOX said this was the third longest SOTU ever.  Chris Wallace said it was too long and bellicose.  Juan Williams was utterly ridiculous with his gripes.  I was surprised as I enjoyed the whole thing and never once thought to myself, “Hurry up and end this.  Dunno how much more I can take.”, as I have in all other SOTUs I have watched.

I felt the same way. I watched it all and thought he did a great job.

Dumbass Dana Perino said Kennedy broke the SOTU curse.  He gave a good speech.

Did she actually watch it?

I had to run out, so I listened to Kennedy's speech in my car, so I had just the audio?  WTH??  He speaking was very fast and then he would slow down ... then speed up again ...  sounded like he was nervous and then tried to come across as some kind of great orator... NOT!!!  He was absolutely pitiful as he said absolutely nothing of substance.  Only one point came across very clearly ... my generation will tear down that wall!! 

Well... to me it is clear ... Trump is willing to grant amnesty to a select group...DEMS want more.  They do NOT want a wall and they do NOT want to end chain migration.   As expected.  IMHO, Trump made a huge mistake of offering any kind of amnesty.

As for Kennedy ... OMG ... I don't think I have EVER heard such a terrible speech given by someone who has no speaking appeal, whatsover. This is who the DEMS are counting on ... a Kennedy!!!! Buaaahhhhhaaa.... Seriously!

Teddy Roosevelt gave a speech with a bullet in him IIRC.

Has anyone given a response in front of a live studio audience before?  It was odd.....like watching Happy Days if the show was only about Ralph Malph.

I didn't catch the speech except for a couple stops during commercials, but Hannity says he hit it out of the park so I will go with that.

BTW can anyone explain why the Kennedy child had some white substance glistening on his lips and was in front of a broke down car?

It started badly, but someone shot out the applause light so they stopped interrupting him and it got more effective later.  Many will fall for the BS.

I wish I had been in that room.

A Kennedy!

I would have loved to yell "DUCK!" just to watch his reaction.

Maybe that was the car they pulled out of Chappaquiddick waters, now fully refurbished and shown off to the crowd...?

    Terrible Director on the Kennedy Speech, that car should have had it's emergency flashers on for dramatic effect.    Unless the plant workers disconnected the battery so he couldn't drive off and wrap it around a tree or drown someone.

I can't stand her. Even her love of dogs still won't get me to like her. She often sounds like Juan Williams.

Yes, Trump knocked it out of the park and gave and excellent speech.  The only thing I was disappointed in was his statement on granting a pathway to citizenship to 1.3 million.  President Trump delivered a very clear message; America is Back!!

 I can live with it, if the ones that get the pathway are carefully vetted.
