Enough- The SOTU has become an undignified circus
Vanity | 01-29-2018 | NRx

Posted on 01/29/2018 11:37:03 AM PST by NRx

Enough. The State of the Union Address has devolved from a sober state occasion to political spectacle and ultimately a low class circus. It is beneath the dignity of the Presidency (and Congress though I doubt anyone there really cares). Trump should return to the venerable practice of sending the message in writing. The modern practice of delivering a speech is yet another innovation of Woodrow Wilson, my nominee for the worst President in American history.

As long as Trump reads out loud the 4 page memo, I’ll be very interested in this SOTU speech.

Hey... this is the 21st century... send them a podcast, or whatever they call the video streams these days!

Good ole Woody is the one that broke the separation of church and state by placing luciferian markings on our currency. Well it’s not really “Our” currency is it? Double thanks for that too Woody!

How about wait until it happens to get all wee-wee’d up about it?

Has become? Is this a 50 year old article? One of the most pleasurable things for me of hitting adulthood, moving away, and gaining control of the remote was the ability to not watch political crap. SOTUs, conventions, speeches, debates, forget about it. Close to 30 years without a political dog and pony show, the good life.

I think President Trump should tweet the SOTU report to congress.

Congress has become an undignified circus.
The MSM has become an undignified circus.
Liberals are just scared of what President Trump will disclose.

After what has been seen of BO’Bs time in office, WW now only claims the second WORST President. Please adjust your score cards.

I hear that PDJT has invited Stephen Willeford, the man who shot the murderer of the church people in Texas. He’s been staying out of the limelight, so this will be big for him.

Seriously???? This is the first State of the Union I am really looking forward to since Reagan. Granted, I was not expecting how well Trump did last year so was not looking forward to it.

This year, I have been excited for a week now waiting for the firework show! The Dems and the media deserve everything that explodes in their faces that they can not block Americans from hearing raw! Undignified??? Sure but our MSM and politicians have gotten us to this point, not Trump. He is the answer and cure Americans have been begging 30 years for since Regan!

Nobody voted Trump for his dignity and elegance, they voted for him to go to war on the "elite" that has no place in American government or politics if we are going to keep our freedoms!

You must be out of your mind! The master CEO and Entertainment Mogul (he’s also the President of the USofA:-) should skip an opportunity to talk directly to the Citizens of this now Great again Nation?-) You’ve got to be kidding.

Could not agree with you more. The nation would be better off had Woody Woodpecker been our 28th president.
