Address to Congress

Q:  Best and worst things about Trump's address to Congress?
-Sarah, West Covina

DoA: The worst things can be debated somewhere else.  I'll just stick to the positives.  I liked how he condemned the hate right out of the gate.  I like how he stayed presidential.  And I like how he offered an optimistic view of the future.  Here are some of my favorite lines:

“Education is the civil rights issue of our time.”

"Free nations are the best vehicle for expressing the will of the people –- and America respects the right of all nations to chart their own path. My job is not to represent the world. My job is to represent the United States of America. But we know that America is better off, when there is less conflict -- not more."

“Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. Every problem can be solved. And every hurting family can find healing, and hope.”

"True love for our people requires us to find common ground, to advance the common good, and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a brighter future."

What did you think was positive about last night's address?
