There are probably proposition bets on that in Vegas.
“a speech is not mandated the president has to report to congress from time to time
He could tweet it every Monday if he wanted to.”
{snort} LOL.
The previous 28 were worthless. This is one to watch.
It could happen. LOL
The State of the Union has degenerated into a Stalinesque ritual worthy of the worst era of the Soviet Union.
its a embarrassment to patriotic Americans
For some reason, I'm reminded of the final episode of The Prisoner, where Patrick MacGoohan tries to give a speech to a masked assembly, and they shout him down every time he opens his mouth.

He needs to address the nation once a year.
If you had spent that much money on Hillary, and were now getting nothing in return, you would be mad too.
She keeps in the public eye to remind everyone how much money was wasted on her campaign.
I hope thy worry about it right up until the very last second of the speech. Don't give them the opportunity to 'sell' their bile by attacking his mention of the memo.
Just make them wait and worry.
Salem took over and they went full RINO-Goldberg et al
He was just a cipher, a front for all the other degenerate hordes...but its
hard to top the sociopathy of a 1/2 white not-so-crypto-Muslim/Marxist who hates the white half
I guess that would be me. I didnt watch even one of the Obunglers SOTU address, not one. 😁
The treasonous left is getting worried about how effectively Trump uses the bully pulpit. Good.
The state of the union is FUBAR because of the demoncrat party.
And they never ever said this during democrat presidents.
No then they criticize the repubs for not clapping or sitting for the democrap president.
Hopefully Trump will go against the cringeworthy tradition of introducing citizens from the audience.
I agree, it should be ended, it is meaningless political rhetoric.
“Why wouldnt America be better off with the president submitting a written statement to Congress in lieu of a speech, as presidents did for nearly the entire 19th century?”
Well, back then their suits were not as impressive, and hair and makeup technology was not as sophisticated either. So they were afraid of how they would look on international television. Duh.
And think of how those images and videos would make them look on Instagram and YouTube. Of course those 19th century presidents weren’t going to let that happen. Get real.
They know that this “mentally deficient nincompoop” will knock another one out of the park and with the memo and other events, they are so puckered up they won’t be able to breath before long...
Now that we have a president who might have something worthwhile to say,there are those who would curtail it. Where were these people when Obama was out there spouting off?
