New president, same partisan response: Texans split on Trump's address

WASHINGTON – "Bold." "Vague." "Visionary." "A dark, dystopian nightmare." That's how members of Texas' congressional delegation described President Donald Trump's first address to a joint session of Congress as they left the Capitol Tuesday night.

Rep. Marc Veasey of Fort Worth was the congressman who called the speech a "dystopian nightmare," noting that Trump offered few firm details about what a replacement to the Affordable Care Act will look like.

"When he talked about pre-existing conditions, he didn't talk about whether people with pre-existing conditions will be protected from high insurance rates and costs," Veasey said. "If I had a pre-existing condition, or a friend or family member with one, I would be afraid of what he said in that speech tonight."
