Can I ridicule her as a fat fuck or is that just something that can be said about Republicans?

oh, no, you can go the fat fuck route. jesus. mix in a salad.

also, her rebuttal is terrible, which is par for the course for the DNC. they never take the chance to actually rebut what was said, instead choosing to go with a pre-written speech given by a nervous speaker. she's breathing heavier than trump does.

because they are both fat fucks.

Does the shoe fit?

Not at her scale

[WhatTheBuck 28904]

If you're going to put someone who lost their election on air to reply to the SOTU address, they'd better hit a home run. Stacey Abrams is striking out.

Is she in front of a green screen?

Keep thinking she is, but then it could be the  lighting.  She’s evenly lit with an out-of-focus background so it makes it tough to tell. 

[hayden_horn 11401]

TO WHOM IS SHE SPEAKING?

fucking christ. she's all over the place.

[F250 29177]

I believe that her parents were UMC ministers because she actually sounds like a Methodist minister. This is a terrible follow up to Trump.

I see some movement and blinding light from some bling earrings behind her left shoulder. 

[Murfdogg21 4550]

Michael Strahan ran for governor of Georgia?

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Is she going to get to anything the pres said at any point in this? She lost 80% of the viewers by now. 

That’s not how it works. Always will be. They can’t write the speech in 5 mins so the rebuttal is always more generic platitudes. Random stories of American greatness contrasted with Joe Sixpack can’t pay his bills because that other party is XYZing. My side is better. Yea economy. Boo childhood cancer.

It’s a lose for whoever performs it.

[plimon 190]

I was really hoping for Ted Liu to give the response.

Michael never weighed that much

[atomheartbevo 90549]

Her speech is weak, but she’s there because Georgia has a Senate seat up in 2020.  If she flips Georgia, it puts Trump even more in the electoral hole (along with Wisconsin, PA, MI, and Arizona). 

[mdmost 43852]

Tell the chicks behind her to stop swaying. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

Next year Ted Lieu should do this speech

trying to stay awake. 

[DigDug 1735]

I give her credit, she is a good reader.

[David Dennison 19441]

Yeah, it is what it is. The response is always the same. She can't make it something it isn't.

They should just stop giving a response.

[tantric superman 4668]

I don't think this is that bad.    She's just trying to prop up the Dem brand.  Seems to be doing a decent job.      

[seven 1368]

It looks like a green screen

high school debate kids rebut more powerfully than professional politicians.

go for it on fourth down every once in awhile. fucking hell.

cnn was fact checking trump's wall speech in real time.

this choice of a rehearsed crappy speech vs an actual rebuttal is stupid. you know what he's going to talk about. frame it better. god, i've been on panels where i had to respond to things with which i disagreed in seconds, not minutes or tens of minutes. 

she's not rebutting anything. she's just giving a speech.

[TexArcher 38816]

Stacey Abrams looks like Shaq and that chick from SNL made a baby.

[Incredulity 11861]

She is excited because there is a cheesesteak right beside the camera

It is better than when Rubio damn near died of thirst on camera.

Little Kennedy was better last year.  

[EuroHorn 3287]

Thanks Stacey for confirming why I didn’t vote for you...

[SameSame 1745]

And fucking AOC is getting time too

[Brisketexan 106629]

Let a lawyer give the goddamned rebuttal. Our fucking job is to think on our feet and respond on the fly. I could have made notes (along with the prep beforehand about what we KNEW he was going to say) along the way, and delivered an actual fucking rebuttal.
And I like Stacy - an old classmate and friend of my wife. She’s always been whip-smart. But a meh, canned speech.

[burntorangebongos 10809]

I like Stacy Abrams. She is smart and inspiring.

Dems need plus sized southern African American women to vote - Massachusetts wrapped up.

[AbeFroman 3090]

I actually liked Abrams, she did a good job too.

[WhatTheBuck 28904]

I've heard Abrams speak before and she's been impressive. That speech wasn't engaging at all and didn't seem to be a reply to the SOTU address. It was just a speech. 

[Bama Chick 28596]

Damn, go to a dentist lady. Jesus.

God, you’re a fucking dick.

Your drop in hot takes tonight have really raised the discourse.

This.  It didn’t have the passion it could have. 

[Brisketexan 106629]

Typed too fast - TRIAL lawyer. She has a JD, but she was a tax attorney - wonky stuff, not “think on your feet” stuff.

That's why you want an eloquent, extemporaneous speaker to rebut.  Think "Barack Hussein Obama".  He would need 2 note cars with a half dozen major points each and wham! he'd fucking pillory Trump.

[yoladu 4187]

Abrams speech was OK..not great, not bad.. and in the end just not very memorable.

She didn't fuck up, she didn't hit it out of the park.

 

(she didn't pull a Jindal, Rubio , or Kennedy)
