Nothing particularly exciting or groundbreaking so far.

No, but I hear it is a traditional democratic color.

That white clothing bit reminded me of a high school girls clique.

Other than the CBS/CNN snap pole showing overwhelming support for the Presidents speech where he came out hard against abortion and vowed to finish the wall...

CBS News and CNN released instant polls taken immediately after President Trump’s State of the Union address with both polls finding 76 percent of those who watched approved of the speech. The CBS poll 72 percent approved of Trump’s immigration proposals while the CNN poll showed 76 percent approval with 59 percent “very positive.”

Given CNN's penchant for publishing pro-conservative data only if there is absolutely, positively no other way to spin it, numbers that high are astonishing. That tells me the real-world approval for both criteria is likely much higher.

I've been told enough times not to listen to something he said 'by mistake', later contradicted, or didn't mean literally that I think it's finally starting to sink in.
I didn't bother watching or listening, and it sounds like that was a fine choice:

His head slumped toward his left shoulder, lips partially open in a peaceful somnolent stupor, Trump dozed off while the rest of America listened in relative indifference.


72 percent approved of Trump’s immigration proposals
Wonder if those people took him literally/seriously ???
Quote from: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-06/trump-calls-for-more-legal-immigration-after-pushing-to-cut-it
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he stands by a few words ad-libbed into his State of the Union address and wants more legal immigration to the U.S. -- an apparent reversal of his administration’s policies.

Trump said Tuesday that immigration enriches the country and “I want people to come into our country, in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally," he said.

The words “in the largest numbers ever” weren’t in his prepared remarks. He has previously endorsed policies aimed at cutting legal immigration by as much as half, by reducing family-based green cards, limiting work visas, eliminating the diversity lottery and lowering refugee quotas.

But on Wednesday, Trump said he meant what he said.

“Yes, because we need people in our country because our unemployment numbers are so low,” he said in an interview with regional news organizations after he was asked whether he favors a change in policy to expand legal immigration, according to a reporter for The Advocate of Louisiana.
