the top about the people sprayed with bullets but he didn t talk about the gun violence. there were some missed opportunities there for the president. but i will say if he wants to doing? on criminal justice reform he s going to find a lot of democrats want to work with him. and on infrastructure. as long as it s done in a way that s not privatizing all of the roads and bridges. right? i think that there is another area the reality isn t not to pick with dana and jake over there. but the idea that the president would lay out his proposals and say things that the other side would disagree with, name one president who hasn t done that in any state of the union address. every state of the union address i ve sat through 16 of them. i can tell you that half the time the republicans are up and the other half the democrats are up. that s just the way it goes. the idea that trump was somehow different i thought i thought he had actually a much more outreaching speech using th
