Things Trump could say to spice up the SOTU address.

Twitchy wins on Pelosi's sour face. "Who dropped a house on your sister?"

CBS News poll showing 75% viewer approval rating for SOTU. Let that sink in a sec... CBS. That CBS. National network CBS. Kinda hard to digest that they would even print a result so in Trump's favor, much less in a reasonably objective way. I'm genuinely shocked.

They explain the result by claiming that only Republicans watch SOTU addresses by Republican presidents.

I haven't watched on by any President in many years.  I think I watched maybe one of W. Bush's speeches.  I do find Trump easier to listen to.

 I think the last SOTU address I watched in its entirety was Bush's 2002 address because it was 4 months after the September 11 attacks.

Wow, even HuffPo polls are getting smacked. Hard.

77% favorable rating for SOTU on one of their own polls. I would have figured HuffPo readers to come down pretty solidly on the other side of the line, or at least somewhere more centric.

Apparently a CBS poll found nearly 50% of Democrats liked the speech.

You think that's making the Democratic leadership sit up and take notice?

I think if they're smart they will, but they've proved to be anything but.

but they've proved to be anything but.

Certainly with 50% of democrats thinking that $1000 is more than "crumbs", I'm going with  "anything but".

Obviously, that's due to "experimental error" and they should adjust the results accordingly.

I think that at this point they are fully in tunnel vision mode, panicky, committed to unseating Trump, via whatever means. No time for polls or public opinion.

[RoadKingLarry]

The obvious solution is to go harder to the left.

Since at least the 2016 campaign, possibly since the installation of Obama, we have a hostage situation. The Democrats that know better and that I might vote for cannot sound reasonable, govern, or agree with a republican. So much vile rhetoric has passed that to have any platform predicated on adult behavior will be taken as dining with the enemy. Any move and the far left will drop the grenade. So, keep on getting more radical. Ten months to elections. We run on what besides reeeeeeeeeee?

[K Frame]

"Democrats were widely criticized by Republicans for their behavior during the address, with some refusing to stand for even non-partisan applause lines -- such as applauding guests or hailing low black unemployment."

Of course the Dems don't want to applaud low African-American unemployment. It would tend to cut into their voting base AND their screeching points if Republicans are seen to be making things better in the A-A community.

screeching points
