The experts: Unelected Joe SOTU speech was a disgrace

We've heard from the idiots and their idiotic sources. Now the FACTS:
(And FACTS don't care about your feelings.)

[c=BF0000]"This was the most partisan State of the Union I’ve heard in my lifetime," said Bill McGurn, who served as chief speechwriter for then-President George W. Bush.

"No outreach to Republicans, and the clear message was this: the era of big government is back, with a vengeance," added McGurn, a Wall Street Journal editorial board member and columnist as well as a Fox News contributor.

Marc Thiessen, who also served as a speechwriter for Bush, argued Biden's speech was an "utter disgrace."

"Attacking his opponent directly in the first minutes of his speech is unprecedented and perhaps the most partisan start to a State of the Union address in modern memory," Theissen emphasized in a social media posting.

And Clark Judge, who served as a speechwriter for the late President Ronald Reagan, concurred that Biden's address "sounded angry. For its force, it depended upon him basically shouting and projecting outrage."

[b]And he charged that the speech was "a laundry list of bad solutions for the problems he [Biden] caused."[/c][/b]

The experts agree. That was the WORST SOTU speech of all time, given by the WORST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME.

He should just resign. He's going to lose anyway.

This is why Trump will lose. You can’t get past 2020. He lost fair and square and believing otherwise is tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory.

@LeopoldBloom It's difficult to understand how millions of Americans can believe that crackpot theory...
@helenS It's a cult. If their orange lord and savior says it was a stolen election, they believe it. It's unfortunate that the Supreme Court is delaying the DC case and the nonsense with Fani Willis is delaying the Georgia case. The Georgia trial at least would be televised and people would see the evidence of what Trump did.

@LeopoldBloom When I was in America for a while, I met reasonable and sensible people. The conservatives were conservative, yes, but they were honest and decent men and women. I wonder where the MAGA crowd lives. Must be another America.
@helenS We've always had the MAGA crowd, but Trump gave them a leader to coalesce around. The same thing happened in the 80s with Reagan. The difference was that Reagan didn't violate the norms of government. He and Tip O'Neill were congenial despite their political disagreements. Trump has a more fascist view where people are either 100% on his side or are his enemies. He also thinks nothing of violating or ignoring norms like accepting an election loss. Congress literally had to pass a law limiting the Vice President's role in counting the electoral votes to a ceremonial one only. No one until Trump came along thought that the VP had the authority to reject states' votes and influence the election. Al Gore famously presided over his own defeat in the 2000 election, even though that one was far more controversial in a real sense than 2020 was.

@LeopoldBloom There are always people who prefer a Caesar to a republic... 😐
Republics are not immortal.

@LeopoldBloom The only way Trump will lose is if he is assassinated. Unelected Joe's poll numbers are in free fall and he is the worst president in history. He actually makes Jimmy Carter look good by comparison.
@Reason10 It's hilarious how, if the polls show Trump is ahead, they're correct, but if they show him behind, they're "skewed."

The only poll that counts is on election day. Trump has been underperforming the polls and Biden is overperforming them in actual elections. Although, I'm sure when your orange lord and savior loses for the third time, you'll scream "fraud" like you did before.
