It doesn’t matter anymore - he’s capitulated to Queen Nancy.

he’s capitulated to Queen Nancy

Really? I don't think so.

Capitulated? I don’t think so. I think there will be more to come on this. I’m wondering were the other legislative leader, McConnell, is.

To be fair - Pelosi does have the authority to bar Trump from the House. That is not capitulating. Can you imagine if he showed up at the House anyway to give the speech. It would be absolute chaos and I don't think it would go over too well. You forget that Trump doesn't need to win you or me over, he needs to win over suburban moms and this is his weakest link right now.

One of the reasons the House was lost to the dems is that a significant number of people did not think Trump acted presidential and most of those people voted for the dems. The republicans lost the suburbs for the first time.

You may not like it, but there is a reality involved and that is Trump needs to start winning over some folks that did not vote for him in 2016. At this point, he may have picked up 2 or 3 voters but no more.

Trump needs to project himself in favorable ways and trying to storm the House is not one of them. The most logical thing to do is to give the speech in the Capitol. I assume it will be in the Senate chambers and look and sound presidential. Nancy will look petty because they will set it up just like the House and Nancy will be missing. The voters will notice.
