Well, Trump, my family and I were finally able to get health insurance thanks to the ACA and prior we couldn't, yes it isn't perfect but keep the damn law.

I think Democrats should employ the same tactics the GOP used on President Obama, obstruct as much as you can to prevent some of these disastrous policies from being implemented.

So was this a Miller/Bannon speech or a Kushner/Ivanka speech?

I was really going to make an effort to watch this speech, but then I saw this morning that Spicer announced that Trump definitely wouldn't be going into any real policy specifics in this speech. Anything worth watching?

Trump got booed when he said he was considering creating an office on immigrant violence.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALSO, are there any focus groups of the speech or the response?

Apparently more people saw this speech positively than they did for Obama's first speech in 2009.
