Fox News panel offers tepid reaction to Trump speech

"Flat," "didn't have the bite he usually has," and "too long."

Those were just a few of the reactions from the Fox News panel that provided immediate analysis of President Trump's speech.

With fireworks and opera in the background, Chris Wallace, moderator of "Fox News Sunday," said he was "surprised by the lack of fireworks" in the speech. Brit Hume, Fox's senior political analyst, said it was too long and agreed with Wallace that it felt flat. Dana Perino, a Fox anchor, gave the president points for hitting Biden hard but agreed it was on the long side.

that's not a good sign for Trump. Wallace and Perino I expect to give honest assessments but Hume is a Trumper more or less.

favorite parts. Dollars to doughnuts they can’t name anything except fireworks because they zoned out 10 minutes into the speech. Some of them looked bored out of their skulls.

or hostage video quality teleprompter Trump. Didn't watch, but obviously last night was the latter. Don't know why any of the 3 should or would be surprised.
