I think that every Dem should attend the SOTU & walk out immediately after he starts talking & here's why [View all]

Not attending to begin with is a story, but will be sidelined after the speech starts, but if they leave it becomes an event and on live tv.

It then throws off Orange Caligula who most definitely go off script and not be able to really maintain his shit well.

Then the Democrats can speak on the Capitol steps as some as suggested.

I wish that they would all be present for the official Dem response and they could cheer on the response which would also give a response much more needed life and energy.
