I haven't decided if I'll watch the SOTU.

Part of me thinks he should be ignored by everyone so that ratings for the speech are in the toilet.

But like a lot of others, I am curious. So I've been thinking about watching with audio off and cc on. That way I can read his word salad objectively without getting emotionally hooked by his voice, and also - watch the body language. I am hoping that Nancy behind his back will throw him off balance.

1. Boycott the SOTU.

You can read about it later online or listen to cable news.
No support for drumpf.

2. Wise words. I really would like the ratings to suck.

3. "he should be ignored by everyone so that ratings for the speech are in the toilet."

That's why I'm not watching.

6. Only the Nielsen Families with their little boxes can affect the ratings

So, unfortunately, the millions of us who won't be watching the mendacious obscenity PINO trump, will have nothing to do with the ratings

4. If you must watch, find an online stream

In order to avoid the ratings point from your house.

Google: LNC MSNBC

(As for me, I'm watching KU vs. K-State on ESPN!!)

5. There's really no need to watch it if you watch cable news or read boards like DU

the pundits will be covering it ad nauseum for the next few days...

7. What is the value in watching? a million sources will have the takeaways

8. Read a book. Play a board game. Call your best friend.

Why would you watch Trump?

All he does is lie.

You can read about it-- and see the "best" parts-- tomorrow morning on DU.

Enjoy your time tonight. I'm about to turn off all of the devices so I know we're going to have a nice time.

Night time should be peaceful, don't you think?

9. Thanks all for helping me decide! I'll check out the afterparty. 🤗
