Senate Republicans are praying President Donald Trump does something out of character during his State of the Union address avoid talking about impeachment.
Trump will deliver his speech Tuesday, one day before the Senate ends its nearly three-week impeachment trial with a likely vote to acquit him. While the president is all but assured to take a victory lap Wednesday, Senate Republicans dont want the State of the Union to turn into the type of speech hed deliver at a campaign rally.
My advice would be that in the State of the Union he should move on, said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). The presidents got a good record when you look at the economy and lower taxes and fewer regulations and higher incomes and I think hed be well advised to focus on that and let the impeachment trial speak for itself.
Were not done tomorrow and I dont think its appropriate for him to bring it up, added Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.). He is his own person, obviously he can bring up things as he chooses to ... but Im not coming into that speech to be able to hear more about impeachment.

(6,008 posts)Do they think he's capable of not being vindictive? Do they think he's capable of not being inapropriate?
Buckle up boys, cause he's just going to get worse over the next 9 months, and after you vote to not convict and remove him, you're going to own all of it.

Doubt I can stomach watching it. I'll get updates here on DU from those that can. It will be interesting hearing about this clown hang himself even more, though.
