If I had high theatrical expectations of Democrats, I certainly would have watched it myself!!! However, I had no illusions or expectations.

I just wanted to avoid domineering, bullying asshole.

The overwhelming majority here on DU said beforehand, that they would not watch the orange menace's speech!!!

Thank you for watching and posting!! Thank you to all who stomached the orange menace, so I didn't have to!!

I agree, it's the "after reaction" that matters.
