Democrats’ big misfire at State of the Union has GOP strategists salivating: ‘Huge moment’
This affects the entire country.
Republican political strategists are salivating over what they perceive as a misfire by the Democratic Party during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, arguing incidents of clear defiance and contempt for Trump's message will be "huge" for the GOP in the upcoming midterm elections.
One of the most dramatic moments of Trump’s address on Tuesday night came when the president challenged every lawmaker in the chamber to stand if they believed their first duty is to protect American citizens rather than illegal immigrants.
"One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe," Trump said. "So tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle: if you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
As Trump said this, Republicans stood while Democrats remained seated, prompting condemnation from the president. The White House called the moment a "must-watch."

Ryan James Girdusky, a GOP strategist with 1776 Project PAC, was quick to recognize the significance of the moment, writing on X, "A billion dollar ad just wrote itself because they wouldn't stand."
"Trump just orchestrated a great midterm ad, stand if you care about American citizens over illegal aliens and all the Democrats sat," wrote Girdusky.
Tim Murtaugh, a former Trump senior advisor and campaign communications director, told Fox News Digital that "it was a huge moment because it forced the Democrats to self-identify as radicals who would rather defend illegal aliens over law-abiding American citizens."
"There could be no clearer illustration that Democrats root against America when they’re not in power," said Murtaugh, who runs Line Drive Public Affairs.
He accused Democrats of being "embarrassed to be Americans, whether they’re in power or not."
"In their mind, good news for Americans is bad news for Democrats," said Murtaugh. "They aren’t going to solve any problems — they’re only going to add to them — and the American people got to see them proclaim it themselves."
"That moment will certainly be useful, and President Trump knows them so well he was able to make them do it," he added.
