I'm not sure I'll watch it. Probably just get the highlights.

I'm cracking up though, at all the "Peoples SOTU" response/resistance/protests that are popping up. They are all claiming to be "official". Sounds like they are going to end up splitting up the small audience they were going to get. I think there are a good half dozen of them right now, all with "headline celebrities" of one stripe or another.

He should totally go off script and just read the FISA memo.

I wish they'd do an interview with that guy, and see how he's doing in the concentration camp.

That's a guy? I always thought it was a woman, likely a professor of women's studies.

Apparently a woman, though I don't know her vocation. You understand my confusion, I think.

I did hear that Trump ordered the memo to be released immediately after the speech.  

I don't know if that is because he will talk about it or it will overshadow all the response speeches.

He should start with "Hey Barack, remember when you said you couldn't see me giving the SOTU.   BWWWWWWWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!"

My thought as well.  Or at least use his own speech that no one knows about.  It seems all the news sites already know what he will be talking about.  It would be awesome if Trump just whipped out his own speech and went in a totally different direction.  That would baffle the talking heads and completely invalidate the Dem’s rebuttle speech.

Since when has a Dem rebuttal ever had any kind of validity?

I'm wondering if I should watch the media analysis afterwards . . . I remember doing so during the Reagan administration and on some networks there was a total disconnect between what Reagan actually said vs. the media fabrication of what they wanted the public to think Reagan said. I expect nothing less with the Trump SOTU.

Wonder if the Dems are planning some "resist" action, like organized heckling or a timed mass walkout in the middle.

That will be interesting given how outraged the dems were about "You lie!". My bet is that "you lie" will be tame in comparison to what will be said/done tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to hear some DACA outbursts, especially with what looks like a dozen or more of them in the room as congressional guests. Though it appears the politicians most likely to make a theatrical scene already said they're boycotting.

It is all scripted and the script is already written.  If you want to watch for the laughs, go ahead, but try not to let it affect your blood pressure.

Also the news folks are saying Pelosi has told her side not to do anything "rude".

Wow. Trump is amazing.

He's up there with Reagan.

Such a huge and welcome and hopeful change from the last guy.

It was indeed very polished and scripted, complete with supporting characters.
