Senator Chuck Schumer: Stacy Abrams Displayed True Leadership | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[valturner]

The SOTU was him dividing and scaring Americans and patting his own back

[davidellis]

The Investigations of Trump are his main concern, with reason.

[theherald]

So many want so much to make this man seem presidential; any small tidbit. It's been said you, cant polish a turd. It appears true!

[leeannedowdell]

Notice there was not many in the gallery clapping.

[jamesl]

People who talk about America becoming socialist are simple minded. Most countries (including the USA 🇺🇸) are partly capitalist and partly socialist. Smart people take the best policies whatever you call them. And the best policies can’t be described in one word or one sentence. Don’t be simple minded. Choose the best policies for everyone and make life better for everyone

45 has zilch gift for rhetoric. Not even close. He can threaten (pretty dumb choice during a SOTU speech) He can pontificate. He can whine, bray, and bully his way through what were basically recycled remarks. Hubby and I went to bed early; we slept through it. Just watching the re-caps this morning with Mika and Joe. Schumer and Abrams as ever, on-point, with dignity, warmth and real insight. Great job, all!!.

[radwulfeboraci]

What a classless shmuck Trump is, a protozoan gelatinous blob parading as human. To threaten Congress with 'leave me alone or else' is an attack on democracy. Americans have to get over their 50s brainwashing about 'socialism'. Socialism does not = totalitarianism/dictatorship. You already have socially responsible programs. Europe is democratic and capitalist WITH social protections.

[tommyl.dayandtherunaways]

Stacey Abrams gave the real SOTU, just like Joe Kennedy gave the real SOTU last year. Trump's "speech" was 95% teleprompter cliches with some personal touches mixed in (like that lame rhyming couplet/threat to congress)

[MsMary]

Agree with Schumer. Stacie Abrams rocks!

[kikiwest]

I did my taxes and I owe for the first time in over 12 yrs.

[ScytheNoire]

Fun Fact: America already has socialism. America has social services.

[pushpixels]

Capitalism not quite. More like corporatism to protect a handful of oligarchs...woops I mean billionaires...

[crazysista]

Last night’s SOTU speech just screamed, “Impeach me NOW!”. Republican Congress needs to stand up and take action against Trump.

[RurouniStarchild]

In order to listen to Trump's long speech, you need to have a strong stomach and endurance. Which is why I tuned in to Abrams after that's done cuz I just can't with that man-child.

[orangemanbad]

Trump is more scared of Mueller than Vietnam 🤑

[keuvouvo]

old men told me dont trust a big smile

[geoh]

I just wish they would take his cell phone away!

[jerryhunter]

Skip to 1:10 to avoid corny sports banter.

[strangewayfaringstranger]

Ha good amount of trolls in the comments. Got an early start.

[lzrd]

The only great thing about the SOTU was Stacey Abrams after speech. She is a very intelligent, articulate speaker with an honest understanding of what real life is in America for real people.
