Tim Scott, I hope is the future of the Republican party - he made a fine start on Wednesday (despite the nay-sayers and their racist attacks it probably was the best response to a Presidents speech since those began in 1966).

I really don't know about responses I quit watching the state of the union a long time ago but I do think it is in the countries best interest to have diversity within the parties. I think Republicans have done a really good job reaching out to latinx voters and that can only benefit all of us. That is true on myriad issues. I cringe how the Republicans in control now turn a blind eye to environmental issues but as recently as 2008 John McCain and Barrack Obamas plans for dealing with climate change were nearly identical.
