I expect them to rise up en mass and walk out of the chamber when Trump reaches the dais.
I hope they do.

The SOTU is not a political rally (or shouldn't be) it is a Constitutionally required report to Congress. We should move completely out of this political theatric and just have a formal report delivered (imho, on paper like a business annual report).

I really HATE to have to tell you this, but what is supposed to be started being thrown out the window in 1860 and had the window slammed behind it in 2012 when Obama was re-elected to his second term!

And then we'll have that video too, the next time they get to whining about "Bipartisanship" needed from Pubbies to get their Tyranny through.
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

No, they aren't obligated. They'll carry it, however, because they're interested to see if he declares the state of emergency on the border or does something outrageous. Welcome to the Howard Stern presidency.


They are sociopolitically obligated--not legally/Constitutionally obligated.  And they are not so much curious as scared, I'll bet.  I think that they realize that Trump will handle the bully pulpit pretty well--which, again, is why Pelosi didn't want the speech aired at all.  If Pelosi didn't want it to be public, I danged sure do.

Side note to @ABX:  This is not the time to fall back to Jefferson's written reporting of the SOTU.  The American people and the media need to be confronted with the truth.  (Jefferson was reputedly a very shy, very poor public speaker, by the way.)

Congress really has become like a kindergarten. 'You are a big poopy head!' and don't like you anymore!

It really is like a children's playground. NO! NO! no, I don't want to play anymore. Except if there is ice cream.
If you give me ice cream or bubble gum I will stay.

No respect for the office. No respect for the United States of America. They will find out that it is a two way street.
The next time Mustaffa Hussein Obama tries to make a speech, watch half the audience walk out on him.

Good for the goose, good for everyone.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

SOTU theatrics really started with LBJ. Before, it was just a simple report. We could blame the perpetual campaign mode on Obama (the Limbaugh Theorem) but I think Andrew Jackson really is to blame for that. He made politics theater.

That would make for GREAT optics.
Do you think if we paid them, we could get them to do that?

Politicians will do anything for money.
Principles matter. Words matter.
