The POTUS is only required to give a State of the Union Report. Not a speech.

Frankly, doing away with the speeches would be a good thing. An opinion I’ve held since the early 90s.

Trump should just have the report printed and downloadable.

There should be a few thousand patriots surrounding our POTUS, willing to escort him into OUR HOUSE. They would open the door, guarantee it.

I would have agreed with you in the past, given the weak GOP presidents we’ve endured. They always came across as weak in their SOTU addresses because they WERE weak.

Trump is not. He comes across as a strong leader. He’s a great speaker. He needs to do this in person.

Screw that! I want to see Pelosi's uncomfortable grimace standing behind the president as he reminds America that the shutdown is wholly due to the intransigence of the Democrats.

“Trump should just have the report printed and downloadable.”

He should just shoot a group text to the House critters: “The union is fine.”

The point is that Nancy doesn’t want Trump to have the stage because Trump is fantastic under the lights. No Trump needs to give a televised address to the country.

No, I like the address. Trump should talk to the nation with or without the house. I wish the requirements for the State of the Union were more specific and had less time for partisan grandstanding. Specifically, I'd like the SOTU address to discuss:

Not this year, its too important to have the President outline the promises he made before, the achievements made to date, whats being worked on now, and the plans moving forward --- with 50 million viewers.

The only problem with that is that he does not get to include and engage the American people who are clamoring to hear him speak. At least, the ones with brains.

OMGosh, the posturing, the guest victims, the opposition response. It's all a load of crap.

The problem is, though, that if the SOTU where merely written by a Republican, the Monica Media would bury it.

That’s a terrible idea. SOTU is the one time POTUS has a chance to speak to the American people unfiltered by the Demofascist MSM. They totally censored his speech last weekend. Didn’t even broadcast it.
