On a scale of one to ten, last night Trump was a seven and Pelosi/Schumer were a zero

Thomas Lifson  "I thought that President Trump’s first Oval Office address last night was very good, but not a home run. (Transcript here, video embedded below.)  But compared to the disastrous response from Democrat leaders Pelosi and Schumer, it was a grand slam.

"A clown-car moment" with the 
Schumer Scowl

On substance, the president was a nine on a scale of one to ten, nearly perfect. His focus was on the practical issues right away: the lack of facilities to handle the families that have come to predominate the flow, and the vast quantities of drugs that come into the country.  The  humanitarian crisis is undeniable, and the Democrat/Media complex have already done plenty to bring home the suffering caused by the attractive nuisance of a border that is perceived as porous. The  Democrats’ habit of emoting over the human tragedies at the border was converted into a support for the notion of a crisis, in a neat bit of political jujitsu.

"The contrast provided by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer was dramatic. The substance was mediocre at best, and the style went into negative point territory." . . . 

Trump address on border security overshadowed by social media reaction to Dem ‘rebuttal’  "President Trump delivered a trenchant, effective address from the Oval Office on Tuesday night, the first of his presidency. He did not declare a state of emergency in the speech, but he appeared to lay the groundwork for such a declaration.

"After the major networks deliberated anxiously on Monday whether to even air the speech — with CNN’s Don Lemon proposing to broadcast it only after a delay, so network newsrooms could “prebut” it — the seriousness and fine quality of the speech might even have been something of a letdown."

. . . "It’s doubtful that anyone could tell you what Schumer and Pelosi said. But the way they looked – sour, rigid, staged, “creepy” – has launched a thousand memes." . . .
