Democrats who opted out of the alternative “People’s State of the Union” counterprogram to attend Trump’s speech faced the president’s disapproval. And that, more than anything, Bill is the saddest commentary on the Democratic Party,” Vance said. AdvertisementConservatives delivered high praise for Trump’s speech, while Democrats tore it apart.
