For the past 9 years, since it was founded, PlanetPOV has covered and hosted a live chat during every State of the Union address. However, out of principle and to make a statement, we won't be doing so tonight.
The outraged shouting of Ed Schultz, Sean Hannity, Al Sharpton, Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh has been measured to be greater than 10,000 cows burping out a rendition of, "Camptown Races" every minute for an entire year.
Up until now, though there has been a degree of polarization between Hillary and Bernie supporters, a majority of Bernie supporters appear to be okay with voting for Hillary if she is the eventual nominee. However, just as Hillary alienated many Obama supporters in the 2008 primary by trying to smear him with Reverend Wright/unAmericanism and other falsehoods, Hillary's and her SuperPAC's attempt to improve her polling in this way may have the opposite effect.
It's highly unlikely that Miss Trust Fund Brat was even remotely interested in what the President had to say about his budget plan in relation to the obscenity Paul Ryan's trying to hawk, or the state of the declining middle class She obviously isn't thinking of the masses of unemployed or underemployed, of people who've flattened their 401K's simply to get by
It also helps that The White House has finally been succeeding in honing in on a strong economic message. Obama has had to figure out how to get past the obstructionist Congress to deliver his message directly to the American people. He's had to deliver his own message while also allowing Americans to realize who his Republican opponents really are.
Has American politics jumped the shark? Should it be cancelled and replaced with another reality show? Perhaps a spinoff about the Republican-controlled House that is committed to doing nothing to help Americans, maybe titled, "American Idle"?
It's election night and there's no better place to spend it than in our real time live chat here at PlanetPOV!
IMAGINE- House Speaker John Boehner has an Epiphany and emerges as a Groundbreaking Speaker of the House redefining the office as truly bipartisan and securing an elevated place in history alongside Barack Obama.
DNC, don't chase after Trump voters. Instead, use the Field of Dreams approach, "If you build it, they will come."
Trump's hair explained, "Could I just sit around and pretend that what was going on right under my nose wasn't happening? I'd rather dye. I've lived believing that you don't judge based on one's color and I'm not going to flip on that so I just had to give Donald a permanent wave goodbye."

It was quite energizing to be among thousands of my neighbors in this city who reflect how informed, creative, and principled they are. It was a real antidote to the ignorance, bigotry, and hateful cruelty that oozes every day from Trump and his MAGA cultists.
