I think it was a good speech, he held firm in some places, seemed to be reaching across the aisle in others, and started out the speech with some wins. I think he did better than some here would like to admit.

He gave a state of the union speech. I can see how that could be considered a win.
 
I see he pushed for right-to-try nonsense in the State of the Union. Color me shocked that the king of the scammers would push for weakening the FDA and opening the door to snake-oil salesmen taking advantage of even more people.

When you're the terminally ill person, you too may want to try a drug that hasn't been through a years long FDA approval process yet.

You can already do that - it's called the expanded access program: they approve >99% of requests. https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/PublicHealthFocus/ExpandedAccessCompassionateUse/default.htm

And drugs are generally approved in 6-12 months from the new drug application filing (which usually occurs after Phase 3 results are in which show proof-of-efficacy and proof-of-tolerability in an appropriately powered study). It's not the approval process that takes a long time to get a drug to the market. The major time sink is running the trials to get the proof.

Eh,

Maybe you are too young to remember Bill Clinton, or even Reagan. They could give a charismatic speech.

Clinton was never the charmer with me he was others but I was fairly young. I was a kid during the Reagan days so I didn't really pay attention at all at the time, but I've read some of his quotes and seen some clips. The guy knew his audience and how to work them.
