DOUG SCHOEN: Biggest winner and most lamentable losers from Trump's speech

The starkest interaction made by President Donald Trump’s speech to a associated league of Congress was the boldness of his imaginativeness and the implicit lack of immoderate alternate from the Democratic Party. 

Whether you voted for Trump oregon not past November, it was hard connected Tuesday nighttime not to spot idiosyncratic seeking to enactment his docket into practice. The president made wide to lawmakers and so the world, that his overarching extremity is American renewal and the reinvigoration of the American Dream.

As an American patriot who remembers JFK’s inaugural code successful 1961, and remembers Ronald Reagan’s inaugural address successful 1980, it’s hard not to spot the president’s code successful the aforesaid terms. 

TRUMP PROMISES ‘THIS WILL BE OUR GREATEST ERA’ IN JOINT ADDRESS TO CONGRESS

To beryllium sure, the challenges the president faces are nary little great. It remains unclear, astatine the precise least, whether helium volition win successful bringing down inflation, getting prices nether control, ending the warfare successful Ukraine and reasserting American spot some astatine location and abroad. There is nary crushed to believe, aft his code to Congress, that helium is immoderate person to accomplishing his goals than helium was before. 

Still, it is precise hard for anyone who is simply a neutral perceiver to bash thing different than admit the forward-looking, expansive quality of Trump's vision. 

At the aforesaid time, it does not look to maine that the governmental enactment that I proceed to beryllium to, with expanding difficulty, has immoderate answers astatine all. 

The usage of signage successful the House Chamber, specified arsenic "false," "save Medicaid," "protect veterans," lone underscored the implicit limits of my party’s quality to articulate differences. 

It is arsenic if the Democrats person gone beyond adjacent Clinton run strategist James Carville’s proposal to enactment soundless and "play possum." They person go trivial and astir irrelevant.

I constitute this with sadness. I americium not definite that determination are immoderate wide answers that we person to the challenges we face, contempt a wide docket for America and a wide acceptable of argumentation prescriptions that the president outlined. While I was uplifted by his rhetoric, his promises and the usage of idiosyncratic examples, I was depressed that what I saw did not correspond the champion of what our state stands for. 

That the Democrats could lone fuss and sit, mute, near maine cold. And it near maine reasoning that our adversaries saw, dramatically, however polarized and divided we remain. 

I good recognize that successful praising President Trump’s speech, it appears that I, a mainstream Democrat of 50 years’ experience, person someway changed parties. 

Nothing is farther from the truth. Nonetheless, anyone who cares astir America has to enactment the president’s overarching goals connected the economy, inflation, the confederate border, connected transgression and embracing bid astir the world.

Watching Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin present the Democratic effect to the president’s speech, I felt saddened that she had to present herself, by dint of her credentials, and explicate who she is. That is mostly a metaphor for the challenges and divisions we face.
