President Donald Trump’s rousing State of the Union address to a divided Congress encouraged his supporters with bold defense of conservative values, overtly reached out to independents on the basis of successful implementation of domestic policy goals, and in so doing enraged the Democrat left on what was already a difficult day for them.And as theRightScoop reported this morning, "Pelosi did far more to hurt Democrats last night with her facial expressions and ripping up the SOTU than anything else. So keep up the good work!" The White House and Senate Republicans took note immediately...
Trump highlighted the booming economy, articulated his foreign policy, and tied his vision for the American future to its heroic past and frontier spirit. He also gave a scholarship in real time, bestowed a Medal of Freedom in real time, and dramatically reunited a family with their soldier husband and father, making for the most emotional State of the Union address since President Reagan first began highlighting American heroes in the gallery during his annual address.
President Trump went into the State of the Union emboldened by his highest voter approval numbers of his presidency. Impeachment led Democratic favorability to decline while Republicans enjoyed majority support for the first time in recent memory. He is about to be acquitted, probably in a bipartisan fashion.It was a great State of the Union.

All of those numbers are bad for Pelosi and the Democratic Party she leads. In addition, they had a humiliating debacle of a caucus night in Iowa. The party botched its operation, meaning that the result is still uncertain. But what is known is that the establishment’s favorite candidate, past Vice President Joe Biden, suffered a humiliating finish.
The decision to be hostile throughout the speech caused Democrats to look small and petty, particularly as President Trump spoke of big successes and big goals for the future. Pelosi appeared distracted during the speech, rifling through papers and chomping on her gums. Her ripping stunt at the end of the speech was extremely well received by the media and other partisans on Twitter, but was less likely to play well among average voters.

Hey, Dems, NEWSFLASH: It's not about you, it's not about government, it's not even about Trump, it's about the American People, stupid! And this particular President understands that, which is why he's receiving such reciprocal support from Americans en masse."With a simple rip of a paper, Nancy Pelosi has pretty much sealed the deal of re-election of Donald Trump," Mike in Pennsylvania told C-SPAN.— Trump War Room - Text WOKE to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) February 5, 2020
