You just don't get this president. The good news is, only 1 more speech until we get to look at Kevin McCarthy instead of Pelosi.

Also, you have absolutely ZERO clue if that reunion was made for TV. Rush knew beforehand that he was getting the Medal of Freedom and still looked "shocked" when he got it.

now if you're trying to think of a president who can fill up a football stadium with people who want to hear him talk, you're thinking of Obama, not Trump. Trump only fills up arena football stadiums.

But yes just like any of us he can go anywhere and give whatever kind of speech he wants, so long as he pays the rent for the place, doesn't incite violence, and pays attention to emergency procedures. 

I'm just saying that John Boehner and Paul Ryan didn't need to feel any obligation to attend Obama's speeches. Nancy Pelosi need not feel any the obligation to attend any of Trump's.

She may have been okay with that, but many people would not be okay with that. Many people would want such a sensitive moment in their closest relationship to be private.  And she did not get a chance to say no.

Nancy tearing the speech apart is way down the list of unprecedented and disrespectful things that happened last night.

When Obama was president I hoped that the Republicans would stop inviting him over to give these speeches. Now I hope Nancy stops inviting Donald. The Constitution only requires the president to deliver a report to Congress. each house should have their parliamentarian read the report into the record and leave it at that.

Regarding the part in bold, reuniting with your family after a deployment is VERY rarely done in private.  Believe me, I know.  Unlike you I experienced it several times when I served.  There was nothing wrong with that moment.

Yet again you are wrong.  Just a week or so ago in New Jersey... a blue state there were over 150,000 people that requested tickets to a President Trump rally with some 25+% being registered democrats.

Seating capacity of Trump NJ rally: 7,000
I have no idea why more than 100,000 people tried to get tickets.

Lol, you know exactly why, and it's devastating to your worldview.

LOL.  The same guy who says inviting foreign countries to participate in our election campaigns isn't grounds for removal now says that ripping papers on national TV is.  
What he's really saying: All Republicans should stay in power, all Democrats should resign or be removed.  
Which is fine, that's his right, and a lot of people feel that way.  
But it's certainly not centrist.
