There was no chance of ditching Trump. I knew it. Who didn’t know it? The fix was in. The majority of the “jurors” were either terrified or bought up or didn’t understand what was going on.

I was relieved that Nancy Pelosi did not have to shake Trump’s hand at the State of the Union address. Politicians often have to hold their noses momentarily, but Trump’s aura has the stink of an open grave that clings to anyone he touches for years. 

And the address showed Trump doing what he does best. It is really hard to tell the difference between the Super Bowl half-time show and one of Trump’s performances. If he’s re-elected, maybe the two events could be combined.
