"Actually lower than last year. But you wonder about the denominator.
The modern SOTU audience is slanted towards people who like/want to
hear the president, but there are more 'will he collapse' rubberneckers
w Biden," Semafor reporter David Weigel said in a post to X.

I think it's less will he collapse physically but will he mentally
collapse and say something completely appalling.

 
You mean like a "binder full of women"?

What exactly was wrong with that statement? I couldn't get any of our
resident progs to coherently explain it at the time and never have
since. Maybe you can be the one.

 
The obvious answer is it gave people a chance to raise questions about
Romney. I didn't have an issue with it but my take is it was seen as
down grading the importance of those women.

?!?! The "binder" was literally a stack of resumes of women he was
considering hiring. How does that denigrate their importance?

See, it just doesn't make sense.

So it was an inartfull way of expressing what he wanted to say. Say
something like "I have a binder full of great female candidates" would
have gone over much better.

So basically everyone knew what it meant and what Romney meant but they
chose to pretend it meant something different so they could then pretend
to be offended by it.
