How did the media react to Trump’s long, long speech?

Cable hosts, columnists and strategists saw a familiar Trump speech: red meat for allies, little to persuade skeptics

President Donald Trump gave his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. It went pretty much as expected.

It was long. He played his greatest hits by bragging about his supposed accomplishments while blaming problems on his opponents. It was long. He said nice things about his supporters and nasty things about his detractors. It was long. He veered off script a little to shame Democrats and compliment those he likes. It was long. He got into a shouting match with Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. He again claimed Democrats can only win elections if they cheat. It was long.

And did we mention that it was long?
