Politico: Pelosi asks Trump to reschedule SOTU because of the shutdown
The House speaker is citing security concerns, but Democrats also don't want to give Trump a platform to blame them for the shutdown.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday asked President Donald Trump to reschedule his State of the Union address — or deliver it in writing — as long as the government remains shut down.
Pelosi said the partial shutdown has hamstrung both the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security, potentially harming the security planning that precedes the primetime address.

WNU Editor: If there was ever a time when a State of the Union speech should be given, it is now. And as for security concerns. State of the Union speeches were given during war time, with far less security than today. My gut tells me that this is more about optics, and not giving President Trump a platform. I guess the Democrats are worried that five minutes into his speech President Trump would point to a family member in the gallery who lost a loved one because of an illegal immigrant, and then push for why the U.S. needs border security.

Let me guess, they want to extend their vacations a little longer...
let me guess: you are simpleton...sorry. No guess on that one
Another attempt at getting back to the pre obammacare glory.
Myself, I would tell the old plastic hag to find her shadow and go chase it.
Brilliant, fantastic!
right, Roger. that opens the government up. Meanwhile, families going hungry and our economy seriously beginning to hurt but you must, of course, bring up Obama. Is it by chance that Pelosi's popularity going up and Trump's down? what do facts matter, right?
Trump's position on the border wall makes sense to most people. It is likely he would move the country further in his direction and put the democrats on the defensive. So yes, this is all about optics and the "resistance". I'm going to give it 5 days to reach the point where giving a SOTU before Congress is obstruction of justice and an impeachable offensive.
"makes sense to most people"? bullshit

"Trump's support plummeting among white Americans without degrees amid government shutdown, poll shows"
Yet most Americans support improved border security including upgrading border barricades...so the question is who is running these polls, and what is their agenda??? Crickets...
Yes most Americans support improved border security but not a “wall”. Anonymous speaking half truths and then blaming the media or the “deep state “. This article is just more background noise.
I guess we need to define what a "wall" is...remember the Democrats mocking Trump because the Border Patrol didn't want a "wall" but rather a steel fence...So we now find ourselves at the steel fence faze which border Patrol highly approves of, but the media/dems are back tracking hard to keep the "wall" definition relevant.
I wonder if Pelosi would introduce a bill that would eliminate all current wall/fencing/barricade along the US Mexico border, anyone care to throw that out to the polls and see what Americans think of that?
Nancy Pelosi just pulled a major power move on Donald Trump's State of the Union
You trumpians need to use google and read all the polls...learn that calling names only is childish and not a grown person's arguments but rather something that reveals a lack of decent argument
"You trumpians"..."learn that calling names only is childish and not a grown person's arguments but rather something that reveals a lack of decent argument"
Got it, thanks for your input...
Just FYI; the speach is on and these comments show a disfunctional populus that would rather play 'one up mans ships' vs solve problems.
