艾尔·格林:我认为特朗普政府没有得到授权削减医疗补助计划,因此我公开表示抗议。 我通过在特朗普总统发表演讲时打断他,表达我对政府政策的不满,特别是医疗补助计划的削减。我认为这是必要的,因为我需要让公众知道我的立场,以及我认为政府的政策对人民有害。 我的抗议行为可能被一些人视为不尊重,但我认为,在面对不公正时,采取行动是必要的。我坚信,为了保护弱势群体,我必须挺身而出,即使这意味着要冒一些风险。 Alyssa Slotkin:特朗普政府的政策是对中产阶级的攻击,但我们应该与共和党合作解决移民问题,并提高政府效率。 在回应特朗普总统的演讲时,我试图向中间派选民传递信息。我指出,特朗普政府的政策损害了中产阶级的利益,同时我也呼吁两党合作,解决一些重要的国家问题,例如移民问题。 我相信,通过强调两党合作的可能性,以及关注那些对所有美国人都至关重要的问题,我们可以团结中间派选民,并为国家建设一个更美好的未来。 Matt Bennett:民主党需要停止抗议,专注于赢得那些离开民主党或投票给共和党的选民。民主党需要在文化问题和经济问题上做得更好,并重新赢得‘理性’的论战。 我认为民主党目前的抗议策略是无效的,它并不能赢得那些对民主党感到失望的选民。相反,我们应该专注于那些在2024年大选中没有投票给我们的选民,以及那些投票给共和党的选民。 为了赢得这些选民的支持,我们需要在文化问题(如移民和犯罪)和经济问题上做得更好。我们还需要向选民展示,我们比特朗普政府更理性,更能代表他们的利益。 Tim Kaine: 民主党应该保持其多元化和独立性,同时在一些核心论点上保持团结,以对抗特朗普政府。 我认为,民主党不应该试图模仿共和党的团结一致,因为那样会扼杀我们党内丰富多样的观点和思想。我们应该保持我们独立的思想和多元化的观点,同时在一些核心论点上保持团结,以对抗特朗普政府。 我相信,通过保持我们的独立性和多元化,同时在一些关键问题上达成共识,我们可以更好地代表美国人民的利益,并为国家建设一个更美好的未来。

A hundred minutes — that's how long President Trump had the floor — literally — last night.A hundred minutes he used to lay out his agenda, his grievances and what he argued are the accomplishments of his first six weeks in office.This all came during his "joint address" to Congress — the State of the Union that's not a State of the Union.Since Trump returned to office in January, there's been little room left for democrats to make their case to the American people. Democratic moderates think they have an answer for Trump 2.0. What does their playbook look like?
