We are just under 4.5 hours away from President Trump's delivery of the SOTU before Congress.
I think it would be safe to say he will be gleefully insufferable. Here is a man who is about to survive impeachment proceedings while his opposition can't even run a caucus election in a state with less than half the population of New York City. If that wasn't enough he has reached the high water mark of approval of his presidency. If he is at this level of support on Halloween then he will get to enjoy a lot of candy even as things get more and more horrific.
Now it's possible that Trump will stick to the script and reserve his snidest comments for Twitter later tonight and subsequent rallies. But how can he resist taking a shot at Nancy Pelosi while she is sitting right behind him? Or his presidential rivals sitting in front of him namely Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar? He wouldn't be Donald Trump if he didn't.
The only thing Democrats could do to upstage him would be if they were to stage a mass walkout during the SOTU address. (It's the sort of thing I used to advocate Republicans do with Obama and annoy The Village Voice in the process.) But I doubt they would do it. Democrats would probably get more flak for a rude act than the illegal and unlawful acts of a rude President. It is the country in which we live. Barring a complete economic collapse and an act of God this country will re-elect Donald Trump in less than 9 months. The labor pains will be unbearable. Tonight is only the beginning of the contractions.
