This idea that the other Party has to respond the State of the Union is simply nonsense-no one cares!
I agree with you. It is bad enough we have to suffer through day after day of various Obama quotes, but to bring out a person we never heard of to give a rebuttal is dumb. Most don’t even remember who gave the last one. Oh yeah. Rubio and he kept drinking that water (which is what everyone remembers). I hear she is an Amnesty lover so why bring her out as our representative which clearly she is not. I actually thought it was going to be Cruz.
The “State of the Union” “campaign” speech/production itself is the bigger absurdity. Republican or Democrat Presidents have an 1 1/2 to ramble on and be as disingenuous as they want to be without fear of real time rebuttal. Just vomit for the baby birdy electorate to eat.
