Top takeaways from Trump's State of the Union

President Trump pushed for unity and bipartisanship during his State of the Union address, but it's unclear whether his words will translate into action. CBSN political contributor and Boston Herald columnist Michael Graham takes us through some of the highlights.

An overwhelming amount of Americans approved of his speech and an overwhelming amount of the MSM did not.

Growing up among immigrant families, I agree to ending chain migration aside from spouse and kids. The first immigrant is of a different breed than the relatives they bring over. The first immigrant is driven, hard working, and visionary enough to risk it all and come here, but the parents, uncles, aunts, cousins they bring over mostly do not have that drive and come over with a leeching mentality and definitely not as hard working and end up with food stamps, housing, and mediCAL (in California). We have hired many immigrant families over the 30 years we've been here and we keep seeing this pattern over and over again. Don't call me racist as I am talking about my own race. Trump is right about ending chain migration.

The most inspirational State of the Union I've seen in my life, dating back to the 1970s.  Finally, we have a President who puts the US first and genuinely cares about the people, without any influence from the corrupt lobbyists and foreign powers.

Why in the world anyone would hate such a positive speech and his hard work this past year Shows us there is obvious hatred for Trump and citizens by them. It clearly points to the Democrats not wanting to side with Americans, WHO THEY WORK FOR!

Thank you President for addressing the "deadly" loopholes that allow crime to enter into the U.S. Who wouldn't want safety in our cities, communities, schools etc.?

"...unclear whether his words will translate into action"? Uh...where have you been over the past 12 months? The man has either already accomplished or is still trying to accomplish everything he promised during the presidential campaign. Geesh...what's wrong with you people?

[logankirkland]

He tweets so he can directly talk to the American people. No one complained about FDR’s (a Democrat) fireside chats

Trump did a terrific job. Great speech! Give him credit yall!

Gay man here in SF for Trump that rejects the Xenophobic hate of Russia being pushed by the MSM !

I was a lifelong Democrat, voted for Obama twice. I am now a Trump supporter. I hope more like me will wake up, dismiss the irrational hate, and support our President.

[OhioHowe]

I am so sick of MSM saying if his words will bear out into actions.  This President is the first one in a long time that KEEPS HIS WORD.  You best get on board and stop being negative.

[floydhoutman]

he has shown me that his actions are stronger than his words.he's doing a fine job.trump 2020

[rbrown]

I hope that Trump is a 2 term President so he can completely clean up the 2 term disaster's that Obama left him.

How much did it hurt CBS to publish this poll?

The independent vote is what is important! 33% of the country is out to lunch (aka Dem base)

[mattgraham]

the president's speech was really great

[jeffe]

He's done everything he said. The democrats will be in prison or unemployed by the next sofu address

The immigrant who brings their aunt could then bring her sister, who brings her mother, who brings her son, who petitions to bring his brother, brings his wife & son, etc... see it's really not hard to grasp at all, they're being quite deceptive, *gasp* !

God Bless Trump!! Best president EVER!!
