I disagree. I am sorry that he has cancer -- I feel sorry for anyone who has that -- but his quotes speak for themselves. He is a nasty, divisive, racist bigot, and I think Trump was trying to appeal to his (Limbaugh's) fans and also as a way of thanking him for being a large reason why he was elected.

I watched it. He handed her the speech when she extended her hand. He also didn't shake Pence's hand.

Oh, and if someone starts yelling and trying to interrupt a SOTU speech, they're going to get removed from the room. The dad wasn't sitting there minding his own business. He began shouting at the President during the speech. He was escorted calmly from the room, and he issued an apology for his behavior afterward.

Either Pelosi secretly wants Trump to be re-elected or she's just delusional. She can't think her childish behavior will be popular with most Americans. CNN & MSNBC sure, but those are pro-Pelosi mouthpieces. Overwhelmingly, mainstream Americans thought her actions were disgraceful and disrespectful as her poll numbers continue sinking further still.

Trump's pettiness showed right there.



You'll note he didn't shake the hand of Mike Pence either.

What about that entire cadre of Congresswomen, pumping their fists in the air (actually, they were making some sort of hand signal....I'm not up on SJW gestures), yelling "we are free!" "we are free!" "we are free!" over the president while he was speaking. I would have loved to see THEM removed.

RCP average Dem. +7 to retain house and take over Senate.

Moscow Mitch with holding bills from the floor will hurt.

We always hear talk of "Trump's base," used disdainfully of course, but there's a certain contingent out there who would qualify as "Pelosi's base." (Some of them are on this thread.) So while Pelosi's base cheers on her disgraceful behavior, independents and moderates - including those in swing states - are quite turned off by what has become of the Democratic Party.

Harry Reid was famous for blocking bills well before Mitch.
