Nancy Pelosi to Trump: Reschedule State of the Union address...
CNBC.Com ^ | 1/16/2019 | Dan Mangan | Brian Schwartz

Posted on 01/16/2019 7:54:47 AM PST by BradtotheBone

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, citing the ongoing government shutdown, urged President Donald Trump in a letter Wednesday to either reschedule his State of the Union address set for later this month or to deliver it in writing to Congress.

Pelosi, D-Calif., in her letter noted "security concerns" related to the partial shutdown's effect on the U.S. Secret Service, which provides security for the president's annual in-person address to a joint session of Congress.

"Both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security have not been funded for 26 days now — with critical departments hamstrung by furloughs," wrote Pelosi.

"And since the start of modern budgeting in Fiscal Year 1977, a State of the Union address has never been delivered during a government shutdown," wrote the speaker.

The letter comes as Pelosi and other Democratic leaders in Congress have been ocked in a political battle of wills with Trump over his demand for funding for a wall on the border with Mexico.

Trump is scheduled to deliver the State of the Union address on Jan. 29.

I must say, if the State of the Union was to be held in a large arena "rally-style", it would be incredibly awesome. He should do it down in Alabama or some other place in "fly-over" country. Screw the Washington Beltway crowd.

Most Americans have not seen a full-blown traditional Trump rally.

Trump, proceed as scheduled. MAKE her deny him entry. (NEVER HAPPEN).

If Nancy doesn’t want it, all the more reason to do it!

If the Democrats boycott SOTU, fill the seats with families of people killed by illegals.

He should do it in West Virginia

"Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium" (WVU) holds 60,000 people when configured for football.

He should announce today that he’s going to deliver his SOTU address in writing to Congress then let Pelosi bray about her victory for a couple of days.

Then he should invite the news media to the Oval Office and deliver it on national television exactly as delivered to Congress.

The Democrats talk about transparency but this request by Pelosi is just another attempt by the Democrats to hide the workings of the government from the people.

The problem is, the House don’t want to show up. You’d be televising it into an empty chamber.

That and she doesn’t want the American people to get another glimpse of the appalling way her minions behaved at a previous SOTU.

Trump should plan on lawn chairs, in front of the House, for politicians, who show up, amongst 70,000 loud roaring, MAGA fans and cameras.
