Hopefully (although I won't hold my breath) this is the beginning of a president who truly acts like one.

It certainly was much better than normal. But the bar has been set pretty low. I also am optimistic that we can have a better path forward after a speech like last night. But he will actually have to follow up and continue to act like an adult. If he goes back on twitter and starts acting like a petulant child, then the speech was entirely worthless.
Also, who cares if the dems didn't stand up? Its not a popularity contest to see how many people you can get to applaud. The dems have seen Trump spew garbage out of his mouth for a year or two. All of a sudden they should forget everything and jump behind Trump because he has a couple of positions they quasi agree with?
EDIT - also, something that I heard pointed out this morning... For 8 years, Republicans were against Obama spending on things like infrastructure. Yet now they are totally behind Trumps idea to do the same thing? I have no idea if people did or didn't stand up when the idea was presented, but I doubt you will be harping on conservatives anytime soon for their hypocrisy.
