#3 Pay no attention to that senile, hideous witch behind the President.

It was a magnificent speech, a powerhouse performance.

None of this foul old wench's ridiculous stunts can detract from the power and mastery that Trump showed last night. Nothing.

Ignore the hag.

#13 President Trump's speech was directly addressed to the American people, to whom he serves. He systematically took every issue and made it the people's concern and left the dems high and dry. Sure it was often theatrical---Trump is a showman---but it was sincere. He was celebrating the many good things of this country. Meanwhile, Pelosi was tearing up the speech---on national TV. It was icing on the cake. The final act of self destruction of the dems.

Trump played it right. He spoke to the American people, and one cannot but be proud of our commander in chief. Well done.

#17 The White House was quick to pounce on the moment, tweeting, "Speaker Pelosi just ripped up: One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen. The survival of a child born at 21 weeks. The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller. A service member's reunion with his family. That's her legacy."

#20 When it came to clapping or standing, the Donk side of the aisle had no logic except the minimum required for self preservation. Even then, it was spotty. Nancy was reading the speech, probably trying to decide what was a trap before cueing the test to or not, kind of reminiscent of the Norks taking cues from Kim Jong Un as to how to behave. I believe the refused to acknowledge the kid who wanted to join the space force, then clapped for his grandfather, the Tuskegee Airman. They refused to clap for what three years ago would have been a traditional Donk cause. They were behaving like protesters at times, and Nancy had to gesture to shut them down at one point, before ripping up Trump's speech and the lives it contained a few minutes later.

I can't imagine your average Dem being proud of any of this. It's going to be a bloodbath come November.

#21 And as for Trump not shaking her hand, I would have done the same. Traditionally, Nancy should have introduced the president by saying it was a high honor to introduce the president of the US. This time she just introduced him as the president of the US. FU too, Nancy. We saw what you did.

#34 This Shitshow Ringmaster is too stupid, or addled with Botox, to grasp the significance of what Trump is doing.

He's starting to bring African-American voters home to his party.

He's breaking the four decades-long stranglehold of the Democrats upon one segment of of the US population. Without this stranglehold, the Dems will be finished.

Note the use of "will be," not "would be": this is not a hypothetical but an emergent reality. Under Trump, this nation's economy is finally helping young black men, including uneducated and semi-skilled men like the formerly homeless vet he saluted last night.

Which means that Trump is very likely to win more than 20% of the votes of African-American men this November, and with those votes he will win Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin.

It's Game Over, and Cruella DeBotox knows it.

#37 Nobody gives a fook about Cruella DeBotox and her pathetic senior moment.

3% unemployment is all that matters.

Millions of African-American men have real jobs, real hope, and a real shot at supporting a family and attaining dignity as self-standing, proud men.

Like the proud and noble men, of four generations, whom Trump saluted and whom our nation applauded last night. Those images have been imprinted in the nation's consciousness.

No one will allow this image of a Botox-poisoned madwoman to displace the heroic and inspiring images we saw last night of American heroes -- every one of them a common man, not wealthy or smug or powerful but courageous and humble and devoted to others.

F you, Cruella. Go back to Kakistan.

Go back to shilling for campaign cash from your shitty smug self-regarding billionaires. This nation is better off without you and your antics.

#43 Zman has a good take. On the one hand, pelousy's act came off as a scripted thing that was probably planned, maybe even focus group tested, in advance. On the other hand, she probably couldn't remember a rehearsed action in the first place.

One thing is sure. The drooler wing of the dem (total Venn diagram overlap) party ate it up. Which means everyone else should be optimistic yet wary long-term.

What Abu said. She's mad. She's on some kind of drug or cocktail thereof.

The big story here is the one that will govern the 2920 elections: finally, a modern GOP president is making a serious play to break the other party's stranglehold on the African-American vote.

When that happens, the Dems will be finished as a national party.

Everyone except Mad Hatters and media maroons can see this watershed event coming. Crystal clear from last night:

Tuskegee Airman hero.

Afr-Amer mom and her child finally able to break free of shitty Government Schools.

Down on his luck Afr-Amer. homeless vet, back on his feet thanks to the Blue Collar Boom that only Trump knows how to deliver.

#50 Pelosi cares little about whether Americans are doing well. She holds none of the values that most Americans cherish. She reeks with arrogance, ego and disdain for Americans as did Hillary. And they wonder why they keep losing as this hatred gets revealed more and more. Pelosi has no class. She is petty and small-minded. She cares not about America but only about power and party.

Incumbents with a roaring economy - and it has NEVER been this strong, and never in the last 60 years has the prosperity been so broad-based -- are easy favorites.

Cruella DeBotox's stupid little stunt screams DESPERATION.

She and her colleagues know that their Shitshow has failed. They're finished. Done. Their own nomination process is a complete disaster.

They're f---ed and they know it. Hence the childish theatrics. Desperation. Madness.
