LoL. I understand. But it’s what she says through the tears that hit it home and were my takeaways from the speech as well.

Just remember that Democrats refused to stand when President Trump talked about helping TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS have a “chance to try”

I wish the president would introduce an inspirational AMERICAN on a weekly basis we need more inspirational stories.

I also did get tearful during the parts of the speech with the guy with the crutches and the poor parents of the girls killed by the MS 13 gang.

"Men don't cry."

It takes us longer to learn that for somethings the only proper response is tears.

Agreed. She is a true American treasure and that was the speech that introduced me to her as well. Amazing. The spirit of God at work in her is palpable even just by watching!

There were no boo hoos here, but the eyes did form moisture and that proceeded to run down these high cheek bones (h/t Liz Warren, the Indian) Enough that tissues were needed.
Applause was thunder and approval was high. GOD bless you, Mr. Trump. You seldom fail - Last night you far exceeded yourself and what you represent.

Make it a “Citizen Award” and the first qualification is that you ARE a citizen of these United States of America.....

Someone suggested the phrase Citizen of the Republic should be used more often.
