Things the Republican Party could not bring themselves to clap for tonight, a (much) condensed list.
- An improving economy
- A soaring stock market
- Americans getting health insurance
- Mention of "solar power"
- Tax cuts for working families (A tax cut Republicans don't like?)"
- Affordable childcare
- Tax cuts for families with children (Another one?)
- Equal pay for women
- "America has put more people back to work than Europe, Japan, and all advanced economies combined."
- A "free and open internet"
- Rewarding companies that "invest in America" (C'mon, really?)
- "Working Americans"
- A resolution for the use of the force against ISIL
- "Trying something new" with Cuba
- Acknowledging that climate change exists
- Prohibiting Torture
- Not persecuting "people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender."
- Closing Gitmo
- Making "voting easier for every single American"
To be fair, many of those are controversial. Those working Americans are probably up to something.
