Petulant? This Dem consultant on CNN warns Dems not to be "petulant" at the SOTU [View all]

OMG!!! Petulant!!!! The horrors!! Excuse me while I clutch my pearls and swoon onto my fainting couch.

So trump will lie about everything, including his record and the economy and insult and lie about Dems. But if Dems are "petulant", well, that's just a bridge too far.

Again, that's why they should not attend. No matter they do they will be blamed. Might as well have some spine and do a full boycott.
