#9  Any promises he hasn't kept were not from a lack of trying.

#8  'Claims'?

#7  He's forcing a once- or twice-in-a-century historic political realignment. Far more important than shaving a few bucks off the debt.

#6  I do wish he's have had a fiscally responsible section of his State of the Union, but perhaps that's for the next term when he hopefully has more of his own in Congress.

#5  Lots of Democrats didn't show up at all.

State of the Union is a trap, forces you to either clap with the president or sit on your hands when he talks about a 100 year old Tuskeegee Airman, or improved jobs for blacks. Apparently two of the smarter Dems sat besides the GOP so they could clap without it standing out amongst their peers.

#3  SOTU was a delight to hear and provided laughs at the Dims expense. The Dims were their typical juvenile selves.

#2  Kind of kept a lot of his promises. Hamstrung by courts on some and by Congress on others. Can't think of any significant ones he didn't at least make a legitimate attempt at keeping. Orders of magnitude better than most holders of that office.

#1  Masterful. A triumph. Best SOTU in decades.

Probably because the simple avalanche of FACTUAL, unbelievably strong economic news is the best we've seen in decades.

If Trump can get anywhere close to the % of African-Americans who now approve of him -- IIUC it's now well north of 30%, maybe even 40% -- or if he gets even HALF of that total, say 15-17% of the A-A vote in November, it will be a wipeout.
