The right says Trump gave the left what it wants. Why aren’t they satisfied?
Why all the long faces on the Democrats on Tuesday night? Didn’t they get what they asked for on immigration? A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the fallout of the State of the Union address.
Opinions from the right:
1. Trump ‘Dreamer’ deal puts the squeeze on Democrats
From The Washington Times: Trump offered the left what they have been asking for. Will they take it?
Heading to beautiful West Virginia to be with great members of the Republican Party. Will be planning Infrastructure and discussing Immigration and DACA, not easy when we have no support from the Democrats. NOT ONE DEM VOTED FOR OUR TAX CUT BILL! Need more Republicans in ‘18.

From Newt Gingrich: The left should learn to take a win with a smile on their faces.
Immigration agents will make deportation arrests in courthouses, dismissing a judge's complaint that they "should not be used as bait." https://t.co/hHdRFcbd76

3. Can Trump sustain newfound aura of gravitas?
From columnist Kathleen Parker: It seemed Democrats were a little unnerved at how inclusive Trump’s speech was.
The left asks why Trump is comfortable using Dreamers as political footballs.
