State of the Union Megapost!
State of the Union Megapost!
Tonight, Thursday, March 7th, is the State of the Union Address so lets keep everything related to it (including the Republican response) confined to this thread.
This is probably one of the most important speeches Biden can give this year. He has to come across as "Present", not just "President".
This will set the tone for the campaign the rest of the year and will be second only to the Democratic Convention speech in August for visibility.

Republican response from Katie Britt here:
I encourage you to watch the video and not just read the transcript. Reading it doesn't carry just how breathless and borderline weepy her delivery is.
You're viewing a single thread.
Before this speech, I wondered how he'd deal with the predictable topics he'd be attacked on. I didn't expect him to be the one to bring them all up himself. Baller move.
He's baiting them to shout out so he can smack them back down, and they're dumb enough to keep falling for it.
Pretty good way to show that he's mentally sharp and on top of it. Republicans just destroyed their own talking point.
Over and over and over again! Those clips are going to get played on repeat.
