"I thought they were trolling him," Sunny Hostin says. "They ran because they didn't like his policies." "Take the moment when it comes. State of the Unions are so much a part of sort of signaling your politics in one way or another to your base of supporters," Meghan McCain says. "The feather in the cap of the wave of the Democratic congresswomen who were recently elected, 100% were in the right taking their moment last night."
