Wilson joins Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.; Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.; and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., in boycotting the event..."Rather than listening to another destructive, divisive speech by Trump, I will not attend this year’s annual address to Congress," Blumenauer said in a statement. "Instead, like I did during his inauguration, I'll be working at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union."

Proof DEMS are running scared.

Absolutely. My concern is that they are behaving more and more like cornered animals... I’m beginning to wonder if there is anything they will not do.

Stupid Democrats, you're playing the game of politics.
POTUS Donald J. Trump plays the game of business.
You're out of your league.

What the President should do is have supporters from each of the Districts occupy their Rep seats, and introduce them as representing Districts without Congressional representation during the speech.

Remember...... these are losers trying to do something that removes their loser image. Those that don’t show up are bitter losers adrift and unable to cope with the stain of losing.

Maxine isn’t going because she looks bad in black. Since she always looks bad, she looks worse in black. She wore the virginal white last time and still could not remove the loser stain

Hyping the fact they are losers is losing

Someone should ask all these self-righteous politicians, what have you accomplished to help the situation, they pretend to be concerned about? Who is working to heal wounds and promote peace?

They hate the n-word, not because it’s offensive, but because it applies to them.

Politicians only care about VOTES they could care less about their districts and improving them. They only show up every few years to get their votes, then leave..Maxine Waters for example lives in Hancock Park, a rich affluent community not even close to the districts she represents..she only steps foot in them when she needs to win re-election

Seems there is a requirement to be a thumb-sucking, tantrum-throwing crybaby to sign up to be a democRAT.

Looking childish, one representative at a time.

So the democRAT women who said they are wearing black in protest when they attend the SOTU address, will they still be wearing black when they boycott the SOTU?

Wearing black and then not showing up to show off your black attire. Is that like a double protest? More like a stupid protest.

Must make sense if you are "mentally unstable" because it doesn't make sense to me.

There is no legal reuirement to give a speech. Trump should write up a State of the Union document and have it sent to the Congress. Take that chance to whine and protest away from them.

Boycotting worked so well for them when Trump sat next to two empty seats on television. I can’t wait to see his comments if no dems show up at the SOTU.
