He has been saying for months that investing in our nation’s roads, bridges and tunnels must be a priority. And I agree. But after months of talking, it’s time for the President to move beyond rhetoric, start offering specifics, and be serious about real funding solutions.

I also believe that there is a bipartisan deal to be had that would grant Dreamers – the undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children – a pathway to citizenship, and increase funding for border security.

But tonight President Trump showed that he is not willing to stop catering to the most heartless, extreme elements of his base who want to restrict nearly all forms of legal immigration.

At a time when the dedicated men and women of the FBI and the DOJ are under attack from the his allies on Capitol Hill, I was extremely disappointed not to hear the President deliver a clear and unequivocal statement of support for our nation’s career law enforcement officers.

Finally, I was particularly disturbed that the President chose to demagogue hard-working federal employees, who are already being asked to do more with less with every passing year in service to their country.

We all got a tax break, but at what cost? That money has to come from somewhere. The small difference it will make in my check isn’t worth the long term negative impact on our future. And contrary to what he says, only about 2% of corporate tax savings are going to employees!
-
Wait until you file for 2018 taxes and you have no refund and you end up paying. It will be a different story then.
-
Hell, we’re still paying what we owed for 2015!
-
Then you understand how that sucks. With less deductions and less withheld for that little more in the check ( and yes, a little more is good) but its a false more! What we really need is better wages.
-
Yes! And cutting taxes on corporations doesn’t carry over to higher wages. The 80’s were a failed experiment in trickle down economics!
-
You got that!! They just line their pockets and lay people off or cut benefits. The greed is overwhelming. It disparity makes me sad. We are better than this as a nation.

Mr Warner you are supposed to represent me in DC. You’re failing. The President isn’t the one dividing this country into demographics of victims he is reminding you that the People (ALL PEOPLE) make this country STRONG. It is those that would divide us into victims that weaken us
-
This president lies through his teeth. He has no intention and no actions that support any unification. Hecread a speech someone else wrote. Did you hear his demagoguery?

Plus he is a corrupt liar who is clearly in the pocket of Putin. We're way beyond hoping for a bipartisan deal maker; our country is in peril.

He didn't miss the opportunity, he doesn't have any intention of making deal. His deals are "My way or the highway."

It was a rather dull fluff piece about his righteousness and exceptionlism. It lacked unity or lively convictions about how we are prosperous, and how we will welcome others to build our prosperity.
