Republicans criticized
According to AFP, South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, Republicans criticized the federal message that "the president's performance lags far behind what he says".

But Mrs. Haley also criticized Mr. Trump of opinion concerning immigrants.
"In times of panic, we could be lured away by the voice of the most angry words. We must resist the lure there. No one is willing to work hard, obey all laws and traditions of our love is not welcome in this country, "- she said.
Meanwhile, the other Republicans also criticized the federal message of Obama that it shows the failure of the incumbent government and claim that they can do better than that.
Presidential candidate Republican Ted Cruz said: "The first consequence of the weakness of the foreign policy of Obama and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton". On this occasion, the presidential candidate Republican Carly Fiorina also voiced reaction to Clinton.
"We can not vote for Clinton in the White House. She was committed to the campaign that will extend and continue the policy mistakes of the Obama "- CNN quoted Ms. Fiorina said.
