(16,898 posts)But I will watch the response to see how well Stacey Abrams does. She had better fact check him. She should be great.

(24,126 posts)..."Hell, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I'm sure there will be something interesting on the food channel.
The Democratic response, clips and commentary afterwards will be quite sufficient.

(16,149 posts)they can track things much more accurately with cable boxes and internet sites, if a lot of people don't watch, but then tune in for Ms. Abrams, her better ratings will drive him round the bend.

(5,547 posts)It is horrendous. I can't stand the constant stopping for disingenuous applause. It is the worst way to hear a speaker.
Someone would be doing the Country a service if they released an edited version that cut all that crap out.

(3,259 posts)Not many people make me feel as he does just from watching them. It ranges from feeling very uncomfortable to angry. I rarely ever get angry. It's not an emotion I feel often. He brings it out of me.
With that said, I try not to miss a SOTU or rebuttal.

It can't be as bad as the Super Bowl.
Freethinker65
(10,109 posts)That being said, I am not much interested in anything Trump has to say. The highlights/lowlights that will get reported on will be enough.

(145,908 posts)I'm going to note the times when:
1. He starts gratuitously blaming and bashing Democrats for whatever stupid thing he himself did or could not accomplish because we refuse to rubber stamp idiocy.
2. When he starts going off script and rambling incoherently.

(4,671 posts)He's such a bad orator, especially when reading off a teleprompter. Plus, watching his bloated face and weird mouth contort into dumb expressions disgusts me. Not to mention all the invented self-congratulatory bs he spews. Ugh.
Will watch the rebuttal and read the transcripts of his speech.

(37,166 posts)The ratings data will show the drop off in viewership, and I want that to drop as sharpy as possible.
The, when Stacy comes on, Full attention for the whole thing. Make her ratings as high as possible, just to kick him where it hurts.

(92 posts)I may have to listen to what he has to say, if only to confirm what I already suspect. One way to find out what the weather is like is to look out of the window.
