    Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Gives SOTU Response

    If you missed the official Democrat "response" to Trump's SOTU speech, fret not.

    It was a real sleeper.

    Summary ---- "get a bucket of dirt and fill potholes", or something like that.

    She came back to this 'illustration' later in her brief 'speech', and seems oblivious to the fact that "filling potholes with dirt" is an exercise in futility.

    Monte Scott is 13 years old and lives in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. Monte’s street was covered in potholes. They were ankle deep and he got tired of waiting for them to get fixed, so he grabbed a shovel and a bucket of dirt and filled them in himself.


    Democracy takes action, and that’s why I’m so inspired by young people. They respond to mass shootings, demanding policies that make schools safer. They react to a world that’s literally on fire, with fire in their bellies, to push leaders to finally take action on climate change. They take on a road filled with potholes with a shovel and some dirt.

        Laughing.... her hand motions and body language were very ... um.... "forced".

        She's not a natural speaker, and aside from being "nice looking", she really has no stage presence or charisma.

        Git some dirt, people -- FILL them potholes!!!!

        (potholes which are in her own State, and NOT the responsibility of the Federal Government --- I bet she never thought of that)

          She looked like an SNL skit of her.

            There are a couple moments in particular --- where there's like a mistimed forced gesture --- that, yes, it looks more like a parody or something.

                Did she just string together a bunch of empty platitudes?

                  I think she was "trying out" for the position of "the next big thing" in Democrat leadership -- a rising star. But she was (excuse the term) underwhelming.

                  I kinda wonder if the Democrats realized that WHOEVER followed Trump's speech was going to be barely a footnote in history, so she was the 'expendable crew member' who got sent down to the planet to investigate the monster. (as you're aware, they never return to the ship alive)

                    That well could have been the audition for running mate for any of the old guys in the frontrunners' spots.
