Longtime Trump defender and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) was harshly critical of President Trump State of the Union address during a reaction panel on CNN Tuesday evening.

“This was probably the worst delivered speech I’ve heard Donald Trump give,” he said. “He ran over his lines, he mixed up, he didn’t deliver his punch lines, he would deliver a line and go to the next issue, and I don’t think he even realized he was moving on to the next issue. Someone didn’t do a good job of breaking his speech so he knew what to do. That was the problem.”

  1. It’s so hard to choose the worst speech…how many lies were in this one? Cannot stand listening to the guy…

  2. “Someone didn’t do a good job of breaking his speech so he knew what to do”…It’s always someone else’s fault with Trump. Even his GOP critics reflexively give him a pass. It’s pathetic.

  3. Is there anyone who liked or was neutral about this speech? He did bring the USA together in that everyone thought he sucked.

  4. Didn’t watch or listen but like the high marks from Santorum for the POS.
