Democrats Refuse To Applaud America Putting Its Own Citizens First
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | February 28, 2017 | Rachel Stoltzfoos

“And they were all united by one very simple, but crucial demand, that America must put its own citizens first,” he continued. “Because only then can we truly make America great again.”

Republicans immediately stood and cheered Trump’s call, but Democrats offered little to no visual support for what some would characterize as a call for elected leaders to do their most fundamental duty — look out for the interests of their constituents.

Yes, the ‘ultimate sophisticate’ is a suck-up to terrorist thugs.

The DNC should be the ‘TNC’ — Terrorist National Committee.

1. They release their beloved terrorists from Club Gitmo.

2. They support union thugs.

3. They protested the arrest of M-13 goons who were selling meth.

4. They try to give violent criminals more rights than law abiding people.

5. They try to disarm peace-loving citizens.

We could go on.

But consider this:

Ever since the demon-rats lost the Civil War they always team up with whatever terrorists were most useful.

1. First it was the KKK.

2. Then it was violent union/commie goons who actually shot people and tried to murder people. One even assassinated McKinley.

3. After the KKK became a problem they switched sides and teamed up with the Black Panthers.

4. Now they suck up to Islamic jihadis and international cartels.

Interesting take AWM, I will consider it. Maybe they are damned if they do, damned if they don't. Right now it has to suck pond water to be Pelosi & Schumer, especially after tonight. We have a Populist President that is for the average Working Joe, who they feel they own, and in actuality they are owned by the Sierra Club, PP etc etc and all they can do is resist because they are the monkey in the middle, they move towards PDJT, they loose funds, they don't the loose common sense Dem's even more. Sucks to be them and I love it! It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

What galls me is I heard the other day PDJT made overtures to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus to work on serious issues and Schumer said no the longer he stalls and delays the more he will look like not a solution to issues like a murder rate in the South Side of Chicago, but an enabler. He better wake up real quick. Tangent to this PDJT went around them yesterday by giving historical Black Colleges a WH Office. Can you think of anything more gracious than that invite? Maxine Waters must be seething with emotions I can't even fathom. This is what the Trump Presidency will be and was probably his business mantra, find a way and get-r-done. the CBC won't come, good, I'll reach out to Colleges, I get the kids ready via Besty Devos, and tell me one family in Camden NJ, Baltimore, Detroit, etc etc that would not want to see their kids go to college and succeed.

BTW, I don't think he is doing it for votes, it is in his heart and the right thing to do...

The more I think of it the more I am stunned in a wonderful way, I maybe getting ahead of myself, but I have been saying for eons PDJT may go down as the best POTUS we have ever seen, I am not doubting that thought any longer...

Correcting the 8 years of hatred for America is going to take time to change. The rotten African and his bitches have done their damage.

Finest speech ever by any potus in my lifetime.If you were an independent voter last night watched the speech and then saw how our side reacted and how their side reacted they just lost another 20% of the indy vote,IMHO.
Dem women wearing white must thinking they are still in college at their sorority house,they are very confused.
You would have to be completely brain dead to vote for their side,the ironic thing is they supposedly have all the money all the rock stars and the entire media on their side and the more advantages they get the worse they do.Go figure!!

“”The least they could have done was jump up and sing us all a gospel song.””

I wanted the president to point to them and ask the choir to now sing.....what a great moment to embarrass the devil out of them..

“”I also noticed the black-robed activists and military officers didn’t do much.””

I believe it’s protocol for them NOT TO applaud or show any emotion. There was one officer (kind of baldish) who sat to the extreme right with the group of four who always had the look of “Huh? what’s he talking about?” Comical...

The political SCOTUS did not surprise me...But I also wondered about the military officers who sat with stone cold faces. Is it beneath their office to celebrate our opportunity to right this country? Or?

Last night he was a statesman. Last night was a victory.

and his family is not too bad either

Last night Ivanka Trump was by the side of Ryan Owen’s widow.

Why did the members of the Supreme Court never stand or clap with the Republicans?

Schumer was so pickled he forgot his glasses or maybe they fell off his nose and broke them?

Traditionally the Supreme Court justices never do - no matter who is President.

This “IS” a civil, civil war. A war for our American heritage, culture, way of life, standard of living.

The Democrats are indeed the party of government. More government = Less Freedom.

Heaven help us.

Why is this surprising? Democrats hate America.

I think they try to maintain an air of impartiality, much like the uniformed services. I did see them react a few times, like the acknowledgement of Scalia’s widow.

Whatever. We dont need ONE vote from them in either chamber. Even if Mclame goes rogue.

If Mclame, Linda, and Collins go rogue, then we've got trouble.
