28. Stacey Abrams represents the next Generation of Leaders........

Jan 2019

Stacy Abrams, Kamala Harris, Beto O'Rourke, Julian Castro, Cory Booker, Patrick Kennedy III, and others are the next generation of leaders that will keep this country going forward. They bring their youth, their experience, their dreams, their energy for this country.

The choice of Stacey Abrams is a brilliant move to give the STOU rebuttal. How Trump reacts will be interesting.

Yes - This could be an Obama 2004 DNC Convention Speech Moment EffieBlack Jan 2019 #10
I don't think so. Usually it's not that helpful for the politician. Honeycombe8 Jan 2019 #24
Stacey Abrams isn't Bobby Jindal EffieBlack Jan 2019 #27
I'm sure you'll like it. But the response to the SOTU is successful if it's not memorable. Honeycombe8 Jan 2019 #38
It can't be because it's never been EffieBlack Jan 2019 #39
Let's just hope she does well. Lot of pressure. She seems up to the task. Honeycombe8 Jan 2019 #40
Obama's was successful AND memorable. n/t pnwmom Jan 2019 #42
It must have been great for you to remember, since he never gave a response to the SOTU! nt Honeycombe8 Jan 2019 #43
LOL, I was referring to his convention speech. But I have strong expectations for Abrams pnwmom Jan 2019 #44
I remember his convention speech. It was the first time I heard him. Honeycombe8 Jan 2019 #45

I'm still not happy that Pelosi is letting trump give the SOTU OliverQ Jan 2019 #11
I think it's the smart move EffieBlack Jan 2019 #15
I see what you mean, but it might go both ways. Trump can't claim victory, either More_Cowbell Jan 2019 #32
She is extremely likeable, genuine and she is an excellent speaker. If she wasn't that she UniteFightBack Jan 2019 #13
Tee hee. Trump will be just the opening act/undercard. . . DinahMoeHum Jan 2019 #16
It's interesting that Beto O'Rourke got all the attention and presidential run buzz EffieBlack Jan 2019 #18
Well, in all fairness, Beto's race for senate was on the federal level. MoonchildCA Jan 2019 #47
That"s really threading the needle EffieBlack Jan 2019 #48
I'm certainly not arguing your point. MoonchildCA Jan 2019 #50
