Not watching because it's an embarrassing torturous affair to sit through. The guy doesn't like to read and recite because it's extremely difficult for him to deliver a message in that way. Thus with intense effort he has to translate words into speech slowly and carefully, devoid of any flair and emphatic gestures that would definitely distract him and screw up his presentation. Acting off a script line for line is just not his forte.

It all comes off just like a kid in first grade reading Jack and Jill in front of the class for the first time.

Bottom line is if he can't lie to make a point he's totally out of his game. He wants a rally where things like Mexico paying for a wall will get the crowd off their feet and clapping and hooting and hollering for more.

Maybe he's learned a thing or two from his speech coaches and has improved his chances of pulling off a compelling speech but I seriously doubt it.

It occurred to me that, if he hasn't already thought about it, he's going to have to keep a tight cropped picture of himself on-screen because Pelosi is going to be sitting behind him.

I'm thinking she is going to be speaking to the nation all on her own by reacting to Trump's words with subtle facial/body expressions that expresses her retorts to his oratory, especially if he goes off-script.

He'll probably just flail his arms around. :p

I trust she'll be able to suppress spontaneous laughter...

Should the Dems walk clean out once Trump starts attacking them, or if his lies become too much to stomach?

I look forward to seeing our glorious leader speak. This will be a wonderful experience future generations will be able to look back on.

The best part of the speech will be how left leaning websites spin everything President Trump says. Chances are they will pick apart sentences and write articles totally out of context, like they usually do.

Will probably wait an hour or so before I read the leftist propaganda sites such as huffpost, motherjones, salon... etc. This should give their spin wizards plenty of time to crap on their hands and throw it on the site. I learned the hard way last time when I was having a drink and spewed on the monitor from laughter at the literal nonsense left leaning sites posted.

I do not know which is worse, seeing a video of an ape crapping in its hand and throwing feces at people, or how democrats praise the crap posted by liberal sites. Its about the same.

I'm watching it strictly for the lulz. At least some of it, until I can't take it or want to put hockey back on.

You huff lead based paint right?

It’s funny you refer to Trump as “glorious leader” which is something nut jobs accused Democrats of seeing Obama as. And here you are actually directly using that term for the current president. It really is true whenever you whackos accuse democrats of doing anything it’s really just projection.
