I don’t know how to emotionally prepare/protect myself from this #SOTU.
To be clear, I’m only watching because I’m covering it. Like a train wreck. Or a hurricane. Or the opening of a hellmouth as all the demons start spilling out and despoiling the countryside.
I’m really happy about all the Dems who are not going. I keep saying that we talk about Trump like he’s abnormal, but rarely DO anything abnormal to defeat him, stop him, or even protest him.

If you actually read the responses collected here, there's only one who is Bernie (or Tulsi) or bust, which tracks generally with what all nominees "lose" from the supporters of defeated opponents.

I'm just not *afraid* of a "Bernie Bro" temper tantrum

1. I honestly believe that some supporters have gotten it in their head that if they talk *tough* about not voting for the nominee, they'll scare people into voting for Bernie.
Like Trump (but for different reasons) Bernie pulls a lot of people who think intransigence and absolutism is a strength, not a crippling weakness. They think there's a tactical benefit from appearing unreasonable.

Since this is turning into "Say nice things about @MittRomney day," his first debate against President Obama was masterful. Romney was on point. And Obama, you could tell, having been President for years, just wasn't *used* to be challenged like that.
@MittRomney Yes, this is ultimately a story about how much I like Obama. Because his arc to get his debating groove back was one of my favorite parts of that campaign.

But I give Romney, a worthy opponent, credit for shaking off Obama's rust and maybe slight complacency.
@MittRomney It goes back to something that is important: having a FUNCTIONING Republican party would be nice, even if it was still important to beat them all the time. The two party system can't work when one party is a cult that refuses to take government seriously.

Actually the only Democratic response needed.
I for real think this was a brilliant move. Because instead of talking about Trump's MAGA rally, a lot of people are going to talk about her reaction to it.
AND Trump is going to step on his own story when he sees this on Twitter.
Pelosi just took away part of the half-life of Trump's speech, and Trump will do most of the work himself.

A "Great American Comeback" should involve fighting for justice, equity and peace.

Not instigating wars, trade wars or closing the border.

#SOTU President Trump is looking forward to delivering his third State of the Union Address and his fourth address to a Joint Session of Congress next Tuesday. The theme of the State of the Union is: "The Great American Comeback." In his address, the President will lay out a...
vision of relentless optimism. He will encourage #Congress to work with him to continue to building an inclusive economy where the least well-off are making some of the fastest gains and where people of every background are finding new opportunities.
The President will expand on the themes he developed in his #Davos speech earlier this month and put forward an agenda focused squarely on the needs of working families, addressing issues that affect American's quality of life and laying out solutions with can-do optimism...

3) Quoting Stone:

"CONFIRMED: THE CONGRESSMEN ABOARD THE TRAIN WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SESSION. THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HEADED TO A "RESORT" THAT DOUBLES AS A DOOMSDAY (COG) FACILITY"

"Adding to the credibility of the theory they were fleeing a threat is the fact that ...

#SOTU THREAD/ When Trump delivers his State of the Union tonight, expect him to boast about his deregulatory, trade and tax agenda. Here’s how that agenda hurts Americans:
Trump’s self-serving deregulatory agenda is setting the stage for large-scale disasters that could devastate communities and disrupt the lives of millions of Americans. #SOTU
The regulatory protections Trump has rolled back, delayed and abandoned not only save lives, prevent injuries, stop consumer rip-offs and protect our planet, they ultimately make our economy stronger. #SOTU
