How did Trump do on the State of the Union? The right liked it

By Debbie Lord for The Atlanta Journal Constitution

The right thinks President Donald Trump’s State of the Union was just what it should be – something Democrats didn’t like.

Opinions from the right:

Speaking from the heart, Trump's speech was all Democrats feared it would be

From Investor’s Business Daily: Trump reached out to Democrats, but he isn’t likely to get much back.

Trump's powerful State of the Union laid out 2018 vision: Prosperity, borders, security

From The Hill: If you can get past the messaging, the Trump agenda could be a winner.

State of the Union: From deal-maker to demonizer, the state of Donald Trump

From the San Diego Tribune: The president and the Democrats (and some Republicans) must work together or we go nowhere.
