Dem SOTU stunt signals their growing desperation.
January 17, 2019
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have much in common with the character Fortunato in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Cask of Amontillado.” Having been lured into a political oubliette and chained to a wall, they are now being systematically immured by a man upon whom they have heaped countless insults. Like Poe’s ill-fated character, they hadn’t sobered up enough from their recent successes to realize that their antagonist was leading them into a trap when he declared in front of the cameras during their December White House meeting, “I am proud to shut down the government for border security.”
Stumbling blindly along with Trump down the murky path to the shutdown, they had no clue they would now find themselves desperately attempting to put a halt to the President’s State of the Union address. This pathetic maneuver reveals the damage they incurred pursuant to Trump’s recent Oval Office speech, which they made worse by their comically inept rebuttal. The damage has now reached the point where Pelosi and Schumer are facing growing revolts in their own conference, particularly among freshman Democrats in the House, over their refusal to even negotiate with the President.

My Take - Well, Nancy has solidified her position as the President of the Club For the Galacticly Stupid and proves to be the gift that keeps on giving. Now if only Mitch McConnell had the guts to send the President an invitation to give the SOTU to the Senate and let the rest of the world watch it on TV, that would really be a kick in Nancy's butt. Nancy was always politically astute, vindictive and good as working behind the scenes. Getting the Speakership this time is proof of that. But times have changed since they no longer hold the Senate or the White House, and now her stupidity and idiotic statements like her comment about Obamacare - "We have to pass it to see what's in it" - is on display for the world to see. I'm not sure Nancy is going to like this term as Speaker of the House nearly as much as she did the first time, and I don't think the Democrats are either. But the Republicans are going to love it in 2020.
Dear Nancy, keep on keeping on!
