I simultaneously agree with much of what Trump said in the speech and still found it boring. Because I find all SOTU speeches dull as dishwater whether I like the speaker or not.
I usually avoid all of them. Unfortunately, special circumstances (company) forced me to listen to the speech.
My wish is that they ban these televised addresses so we can avoid the speech and the typically inane response by the opposition party. As per the constitution, the president is only obliged to give a report to congress on the SOTU. A written report would do nicely.
This speech was NECESSARY, TV and all. A written report would get deep-sixed by the MSM. (Not a good thing at all.)
Reagan would agree with me. I'm 100% certain of that. As a matter of fact, many pundits are saying Trump's 2019 SOTU speech was as good--and evidently as important--as Reagan's single most important speech.
I believe Trump's approval rating will continue to grow now. Many more Dems are going to #WalkAway now. They will have discovered
by the televised speech that Trump is quite likeable compared to the jerk Democrats who were seething in the House Chamber.
