I watched the speech, and I think President Trump did a very good job. All of the policy proposals he laid out I agree with, and they contain agenda items which I think will move this country forward. The behavior of the Democrats in that chamber was absolutely despicable, and they certainly did themselves no favors with the electorate, acting that way. The speech raised my confidence in what lies ahead, and it lowered my opinion of the Democrats.

wait what did they do that was so despicable?

Clearing out of the chamber so fast, the "wearing white" gesture, the stubbornness, and a number of other things. Also, I am well aware of what happened in 2009 to President Obama. For me, displays of partisanship by either side are unacceptable, but an unfortunate reflection of our polarization. The Democrats should have at least put on the appearance of some conciliation.

Also, by inviting illegal immigrants to the hall, they once again displayed their lack of interest in our nation's true border security.

Republicans in Congress have been on TV praising the civility of Democrats, saying it offers hope for some bipartisanship.

It wasn't civil to me.
