This says so much about the state of journalism. A speech celebrating a vibrant economy, successes and sacrifices of ordinary people is dismissed as an appeal to Republican issues. If it weren't for the taint of socialism permeating the press and DemocRATs, they would recognize that the speech celebrated Americans and was really not political at all. That the left hates ordinary Americans could not be more obvious than with statements like Tapper's.
You are supposed to focus on subjects that are dysfunctional and beat the rest of us up about the lack of perfection.
