I say great - let the president deliver a written report to Congress and a speech from the White House.

I can only imagine the level of screaming, whining, threatening and stupidity that the communists (they call themselves democrats now) would put up if he ran around them that way.

The Totalitarian Oppressors (Democrats) don't want Trump to have a national stage in which to OUT THEM as obstructionists for National Security that value Illegal Aliens over taxpaying citizens.

Likely the MS would not support a speech from the oval office, remember how they vote  ;)

Unless he asks for airtime from the networks, I doubt most networks would cover it in full. The cable networks likely would, but that's probably it. I think this is more political maneuvering from the Democrats than anything. Why give the president the ability to publicly call out Democrats for the government shut down?

The article does note, however, that Pelosi didn't actually rescind the invitation, just suggests that he delay it, as the title of your post and the article says.

He will not delay the SOTU, I suspect. He has absolutely no reason to do so.

Trump should show up at the Capitol.  Whether or not the Democrats choose to be present is their choice.

This is so rich.

Dems can boycott SOTU. Half of Congress missing would really look good!

Or they can attend and look like pouty baby zombies while Trump unloads on them to all of America.

Then they can respond with canned pablum laced with liberal Kool Aid.

Fill the empty seats on the Democrat side of the aisle with Angel Moms. (Parents of children killed by illegal immigrants.).

Or give the SOTU from the border, with border agents as the audience.

And now the president has grounded all congressional travel on military aircraft.  The speaker was getting ready to leave the country for for an extended time, rather than negotiate on the budget. 

Pelosi is AWOL.

Pelosi is AWOL.

Physically, or mentally?
