But I will not be watching, I want his ratings to plummet.

(25,487 posts)It would send the message that the Dems are "sore losers" and then Nancy becomes the story, not Trump.
Nancy knows that Trump will make a damn fool of himself several times during the night... his mental decline is obvious.

(42,714 posts)Trump would love it if Pelosi dis-invited him. He would:
1. Wear the mantle of victimization like its never been worn before.
2. Point out that Bill Clinton wasn't dis-invited from delivering his 1999 SOTU even though his impeachment trial was ongoing at the time.
3. Simply hold a rally with his rabid supporters in which he would give the SOTU "the Democrats don't want the country to hear" with record breaking national television ratings.

(9,481 posts)But Pelosi should still allow him to give the SOTU.
We should just not watch it- making it the least watched SOTU will hurt him more, especially if the media picks up that storyline.

(5,811 posts)I want her to follow decorum. I will not be watching because he's a traitor, a criminal, a dumbass and LIAR. I have both the self-awareness and the maturity to simply not watch. Deprive him of your attention, which is what he craves most.

(34,661 posts)the Orange Anus will do the Stupid. It is tradition to invite the Pres for his State of the Union ideas as to how he thinks the next year should proceed. And we do know with this A-Hole it will be a full on Vindictive Retort against Schiff and his Prosecution Team even if Leningrad Lindsey and Moscow Mitch advised against doing such.
