The Democrats went out of their way last night to show their true selves.
Earlier today White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt listed many of the times that the Dems didn't applaud, and the list is comprehensive:
Here’s what the Democrats in Congress refused to stand for during the State of the Union:
Putting American citizens over illegal aliens
Voter ID laws
The murder rate at the lowest since 1900
Keeping violent criminals locked up
Protecting parental rights
Stopping fraud
Angel families
Price transparency
Taking on drug cartels
No tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security
The most secure border in history
The Democrats even stayed seated when Trump asked members of Congress to stand if they believe their job is to represent American citizens first instead of illegal aliens.
Democrats making their "priorities" abundantly clear seems to have helped move the approval needle after the speech toward Trump, at least according to CNN:

Imagine watching that Democrat clown show and concluding their "policies" would move the country in the right direction (unless you agree with the Left that the "right direction" for the country is to shove it right off a cliff).
If CNN polls say this, the actual percentage of support for Trump's policies is much higher.

That's very likely.
There were several campaign ads that just wrote themselves last night.

Last night provided a trove of ad material for the Republicans and hopefully they run with the opportunity as the midterms get closer.
