So, honesty...concerning tomorrow's speech.

Of course Trump will be giving a speech to a joint session of Congress. Do you think that there will be any heckling or booing during the speech? Would you want there to be heckling by either side tomorrow?

The Dems shouldn't stoop to the level of GOPers. Dead silence (or not showing up at all) would be much better.

Trump is sure to give a disjointed speech that is bound to dig a deeper hole for him. Our side causing disruptions will give him the diversion he wants to cover for his poor grasp of government.

But I'll be curious to see just how many lies he tells and of course you know he's going to say how great he is.

Crash and burn, crash and burn!

I don't mind if there's heckling or "you lie" which I highly doubt.
Something to make him completely unhinged (wouldn't take much)

I do expect more than a few puzzled looks, moans of disbelief, guffaws, awkward silences, gasps of air and a general feeling of uneasiness throughout the entire ranting and raving session.
