We could really use a protocols class, if you could sketch one together for us. All ears and eyes for you.

No but that stance they are in is the 21st century American Gothic..just add pitchfork.

I think this is an address to the everyday Joe who doesn’t follow politics or the news often...notice he kept the rhetoric low, didn’t make disparaging remarks, and kept his tone on an even keel - even while talking about the emotional stuff.

He’ll come across the winner on this.

As to the action - it WILL come - but he’s going to build up to it (I know it’s been 2 years already - I’m pulling my hair out as well)

Don’t knock Graham when he’s doing/saying the right thing.

Looked like “American Gothic! lol

[ez]

What I saw was two sides that merely summarized arguments they had already been making. I didn’t hear any new information from either side. As such, I doubt tonight’s address and rebuttal moved the needle in any way at all. Trump missed an opportunity to make an outrageous statement that would have forced to mockingbirds to cover it. Oh well, I still think he wins on this one.

Ding Ding Ding....we have the winning post here!!

[nutmeg]

OMG! 😆

Where is Bernie Sanders speaking? Live on You Tube somewhere?

[MayflowerMadam]

Eeeewwww... Need brain bleach.

[Jamestown1630]

They looked like deer in the headlights.

[Artcore]

Don’t knock Graham when he’s doing/saying the right thing.

[Sacajaweau]

Love Nancy’s....a wall is so 14th century...

[Alberta's Child]

In fairness to Pelosi and Schumer, that were completely unprepared to give rebuttals because nobody knew anything about the content of Trump’s address until 9:00 PM tonight.

[miserare]

Amen! So glad that Michael is on our side!
