    @Doctor-Phibes said in State of the Union - Wagers?:

    To sum up:

    People who like Biden liked it

    People who don't, didn't

    I've never watched a SOTU speech in my entire life.

    There was a teachable moment where Biden compared America unfavorably to a bunch of other countries, including Russia.

    Clearly he's after the TuCa Cult of the Abject vote.

    I was only joking

      I didn’t watch it, but sounds like he didn’t completely flub it because of his age.

      The content doesn’t matter so much - was he able to deliver it?

            I don’t think so, we’re definitely dealing with a mover and shaker here. In fact, they say he’s a movement. The new Moses. Soon to part a sea of great change near you.

                NY Post editorial board is not a fan of the speech. And they didn't pull any punches.

                          Did anybody see/hear the response speech from Sen. Britt?

                          Hmm, was not to impressive in my opinion.

                                It wasn't great. She's apparently a rising star, but needs to rise a few more years before she's ready for anything much bigger IMO. She's very committed and sincere, but what little I watched consisted of standard talking points mixed with it "I'm a wife and mother, so I know".

                                        Yes to this!! 555 Sounded like she was autiditioning for a school play and was told to be dramatic.

                                        Lots of "breathy" responses, etc.

                                          Did anybody see/hear the response speech from Sen. Britt?

                                          Hmm, was not to impressive in my opinion.

                                          I did not watch it.

                                          Was it as bad as Marco Rubio drinking water?

                                          It wasn't great. She's apparently a rising star, but needs to rise a few more years before she's ready for anything much bigger IMO. She's very committed and sincere, but what little I watched consisted of standard talking points mixed with it "I'm a wife and mother, so I know".

                                          She definitely seems to have the misleading politician talk down already!!

                                          Britt shared the story of a woman she spoke with at the southern border, who Britt said was sex-trafficked by the cartels, recalling in graphic detail the story of the abuse of the then-12-year-old.

                                          "We wouldn't be OK with this happening in a third-world country," Britt said at the conclusion of the story. "This is the United States of America and it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it. President Biden's border policies are a disgrace."

                                          well..............

                                          An independent journalist, Jonathan M Katz, first reported in a viral video that the story Britt recalled of the trafficking had actually occurred in Mexico during George W. Bush's presidency. Britt appeared to be telling the story of Karla Jacinto Romero, who has testified before Congress about being the victim of sex trafficking by Mexican cartels when she was 12.
