Former Clinton advisor and pollster Mark Penn on Wednesday warned on "Fox & Friends" that Democrats' ongoing resistance to President Donald Trump, including their refusal to stand and applaud at any point during the president's address to Congress, is resulting in "record lows" in the polls.
MARK PENN: They didn't know how to applaud when you're supposed to applaud. I've participated in many States of the Union and, you know, the Republicans kind of knew when to sit there and when to applaud, when something that was really unifying that they're supposed to applaud, too. And look, what's been happening is that the president's ratings have been inching up in my polls. He had many popular policies in that speech, and Democratic ratings have really tanked. They've hit record lows and this kind of behavior, to me, really only underscores why those ratings are tanking. Because it's amateurish. You know, it really turns the public off. I mean, the actual Democratic response itself, however, was not so bad; it was a pretty good response, but the performance in the hall when people were watching really turned viewers off.
Penn, chairman and CEO of Stagwell Inc., wrote this week in a Fox News op-ed that Trump is "gradually winning over the public, while the Democratic Party and the legacy of former President Joe Biden are in free fall."
Trump addressed both chambers of Congress on Tuesday evening in an expansive speech that lasted more than 90 minutes, as he took a victory lap for his accomplishments thus far and previewed his vision for the future.
The speech marked Trump's first address before Congress since he reclaimed the Oval Office in January.
Multiple Democrats caused disruptions before and during President Trump's speech despite calls from many in the party not to do...

Amateurish: No. The Dems have been at this a long time. Childish: Yes.
why was nancy pelosi (disgusting sickening pig that she is) not on any commercial ripping up the POTUS’ state of the union speech??!1
And why are people fed up NOW after that was the most disgusting thing in state of the union history?!!
>> And why are people fed up NOW
Patience, grasshopper. It takes a lot of feeding time for the masses to get fed up.
Quite.
Which proves that demonrats are spoiled brats unworthy of anything but hardcore discipline.
Obviously.
People are fed up now BECAUSE we now have a whole NEW media, people are no longer being spoon fed the utter propaganda of the lame stream media!! In a VERY SHORT period of time conservative voices decided they were no longer going to stand for being censored AND they stood up and in no time at all created podcasts, Truth Social, Ghettr, AND most important of all was Elon purchasing Twitter…X and stopping the censorship!! The MSM has become so irrelevant NO ONE is watching them anymore!! TicTock is HUGE and common sense is winning the day!!
I’m still waiting for someone to defend the expenditure for the study of transgender mice.
"the actual Democratic response itself, however, was not so bad; it was a pretty good response"
The democrats have decided that they are now going to be cool on social media and they are making complete asses of themselves utterly CRINGE!! Just like memes they just have NO creativity, NO authenticity, they are a bunch of sheep without a thought of their own, they are not happy people they have NO thought process other than GROUP THINK!!! I think them trying now to expand out to social media has been hilarious, they have realized that NO ONE is listening to MSM any longer so now they have to do what Trump is doing they are an UTTER FAIL at it! In order to succeed at social media, memes ect. you have to be light hearted and funny they have NONE of that and watching them try is really CRINGE!!!
I saws that ridiculous “Fight” vid they did.
They are truly braindead (and don’t open their eyes to see the ‘normal’ people).
“I’m still waiting for someone to defend the expenditure for the study of transgender mice.”
Someone did it here on another thread yesterday. Said it wasn’t transgender research.
You need to watch The Rizzler video by the purple haired old lady trying to sound hip.
This is a distraction. Smoke and mirrors. Watch the other hand. So much evilness.
“the Republicans kind of knew when to sit there and when to applaud, when something that was really unifying that they’re supposed to applaud, too.”
I noticed that, too, from when PINO Joe and Obama were in office. When things were said that made sense, they did applaud.
But Penn, et al., need to STFU. We don’t WANT the RATs to change — just keep doing what they’re doing. Soon PDJT will be at 90% in the polls.
They are PURE EVIL!! Let them show the world.....don’t advise them!!
“demonrats are spoiled brats “
They basically have no impulse control. That, added to the fact that they’re wrong about EVERYTHING, is harming them and their brand. Good.
The woman who gave the RAT response is terrible. A segment on one of the podcasts or cable shows we watch was about her. She’s an official “groomer”, pushing LGBT+ books and ideology on children. Pics of her flaunting herself in Pride events. Horrible, dreadful woman.
I’ve heard that even though she’s new to the DC platform, she’s one to watch out for when it comes to rising in the ranks to tons of power.
“Said it wasn’t transgender research.”
I’m pretty sure it was. CNN made the claim that what Trump said about transgender mice wasn’t true. Then when they were given proof that it IS true, they made an official, in-print, correction admitting they had lied about it.
