Trump: I will deliver State of the Union 'when the shutdown is over

The Hill ^ | January 23, 2019 | MARY TYLER MARCH

[Concentrate]

You’re going to miss him when he’s gone.

He’s a fighter, unlike anyone else on our side of the COTUS.

So, good luck with that after he loses the election.

He’s not waiting to be a lame duck.

[Concentrate]

You got dat right!

[Fla.Deporable]

Hannity needs to call trump tonight and talk some sense to him. The optics are not good here. We need a win out of this.

[marajade]

FNC just reported a poll that 66% want Trump to give the SOTU address to Congress on 1/29.

[Swirl]

This will be a propaganda coup for the left. I think Trump is overwhelmed with a lack of support and too-many long-knives in our on party. This action steals the momentum from any favorable negotiations on the wall/shutdown (unless secret agreements have already been made). He should have at the least said nothing.

The nomination of Barr is also troubling, along with the fact that no one from the Obama-Clinton clans have been prosecuted.

So what is Plan B? There will be no Q, or 9-D Trump, that is coming to the rescue.

[nopardons]

What's "new" is that Trump; has already conceded stuff, swallowed hard and said: "OKAY NANCY,WHATEVER YOU SAY", and this is NOT a 7, 8, 9, whatever chess move.

Nancy is going to do NO work of the nation at all, for the next 2 years. Perhaps the shutdown will even last that long.

[dfwgator]

Not happy.

[nopardons]

HOW?

[mass55th]

Maybe you should write the White House, and tell them what a failure you think President Trump has been, and how much he’s disappointed you. He might actually care more about what you have to say than I do.

[be-baw]

“We need a win out of this.”

Whenever he delivers it, it will evaporate from the news cycle in 24-48 hrs. Hardly anyone will even remember it in 6 months.

[bluejean]

“Sotu is one of the greatest bully pulpit opportunities the President has.”

Trump has other ways to reach the deplorables. The SOTU has become a joke. Each side of the room boycotting the other, standing to clap like trained seals, looking around to make sure they’ve done the right thing. TV time for the royals. This government is utterly dysfunctional. The SOTU won’t change a thing if it happens next week or next month.

"The optics are not good here."

You got your contacts in backwards?

[Electric Graffiti]

"Nancy is NEVER going to give him the money he has asked for, for the wall; not even with all of the TERRIBLE concessions he has already put on the table! He should have just kept quiet on this, for now. "

I agree.

[nopardons]

I'm not "convincing myself" about anything at all.

What I'm posting about is how bad this looks tonight and how badly it shall be written up in tomorrows papers.

In this game of "chicken", Trump blinked and Nancy looks powerful. The latter may or may not be the case, but the visual is what it is....NOT GOOD!

[wiseprince]

You’re very short sighted. I’m calling it now. Trump 2020 will be seen as the only person who can bring the country together. They will be out to get Trump 2016. Trump is on a different playing field in my opinion. Don’t be a quitter. Trump is all in and wise

[itsahoot]

It’s got to be some kind of trap.

Didn't we have enough of this 10 years ago? Trump Blinked.

Remember I always have a
Super Secret, Super Genius Plan.

"What I'm posting about is how bad this looks tonight and how badly it shall be written up in tomorrows papers."

So don't read the papers.

[nopardons]

Thanks...yes I do. :-)

[duckln]

The list of his wins, since he came down the elevator, is a mile long.

This one isn't over until the fat lady sings. A lot of punching to come and I'm betting on Trump.

[nopardons]

Damned straight we do and this is NOT a “win” for Trump nor for us!
