Prediction: Trump will have his SOTU address as a "rally" in a friendly arena in a red state

[scheming daemons]

It will be up to the networks to decide to NOT show it live.

1. I do hope so because it will backfire badly.

2. Putin's puppet should give it from Red Square like the old Soviet dictators

[Midnightwalk]

5. You beat me to it

They can also give him the old school military parade he wanted so bad. Wish I had photoshop.

[workinclasszero]

6. Yeah Commander Bone Spurs could finally get his military parade!

3. And it will top off his disgusting disrespect for the Office he holds illegally.

I hope he does it. I don't plan on watching it no matter where and when it is given. I hope for a great boycott of this STOU.

4. Flush Limbaugh

suggested this today.

7. Who will pay for the arena rental if the government is shut down?

He could do it with campaign funds but then it wouldn’t be a SOTU address. Though it would be a load of partisan crap anyhow, I guess.

8. He will have a tough time finding a friendly city of any significant size.

Any reasonably sized city will have far more dissenters than supporters, but he could still find enough supporters in places like Chattanooga, Mobile, Cheyenne and similar mid-size cities in red states.

There simply are not many arenas larger than a high school basketball gym in most of rural America.

9. Tulsa, Dallas, Tallahassee, Oklahoma City, many others...

....have large enough arena.

Any college town in a red state.

[LonePirate]

11. Yes, they have arenas but those cities have more dissenters than supporters.

He may find plenty of supporters inside but on the roads leading to the arena, he will an enormous number of people protesting him. That won’t happen in smaller cities.

10. In many red states, football is life

I'm sure there would be a football stadium available

[LonePirate]

12. He won't host an hour long rally in an outdoor football stadium in the winter.

He could find an indoor stadium in a few places.
