Pelosi had recommended the speech be delayed until shutdown ends
President Trump said Wednesday he planned to deliver the State of the Union address in the House chamber next week, disregarding the recommendation of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he delay the speech until the government reopened.
“I look forward to seeing you on the evening [of] January 29th in the Chamber of the House of Representatives,” Mr. Trump wrote in a letter to Mrs. Pelosi, the California Democrat. “It would be so very sad for our Country if the State of the Union were not delivered on time, on schedule, and...[payweall]

Interesting break with tradition. I had thought that the SOTU required the invitation of the Speaker.

LOL! Unfortunately for Donnie, even when it's a powerful woman telling him 'no', there's nothing he can do if she continues to prevent him from having the SOTU at the House.
I find this whole squabble over the State of the Union some of the pettiest bickering in federal politics and that is saying quite a bit.
With the said, a State of the Union during a government shutdown seems silly. Open the government, hold the State of the Union and let's be done with it.
I'll be honest, Trump shouldn't go to the House to give the State of the Union speech. He should do it at the border, practically a rally, and explain what he tried to do with the Democrats and why they're the obstructionists in this partial government shutdown over $5.7 billion for border wall funding. Then he should just declare a national emergency at the border so the wall goes up. Screw what the Democrats or any of their activists posing as judges say. He has the Constitutional authority to do it and they know this. If they don't, they need voted out immediately and replaced with people that do.

What would he say, in any case, about the state of our union?
"Oh, folks, everything's GREAT, believe me!"
Perhaps his entire speech should just be reading quotes of democrats that have given speeches on the dire need for border security

And then she can get up and read the Heritage Foundation's counter-proposal to Clinton's health care plan, a counter-proposal that is quite similar to another Democrat's heath care plan that had conservatives melting down for several years.

Open or closed I see no reason to delay the speech.I find this whole squabble over the State of the Union some of the pettiest bickering in federal politics and that is saying quite a bit.

Perhaps his entire speech should just be reading quotes of democrats that have given speeches on the dire need for border security, their votes for more walls and fences, their support of Obama's actions while deporting millions, images of the existing walls and border fencing, etc. He should be able to fill several hours and democrats wouldnt have to worry about fact checking their own words...just the side of their ass they are talking out of at the moment. Heck...maybe rather than just giving the speech he could play the video clips to help people understand that the shutdown is over 5.7 billion democrats refuse to fund over structures they previously voted for and built but today call evil and immoral.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.Open are closed I see no reason to delay the speech.
