democratic strategist dave rounds, katie pavlich, marc thiessen. we re going to get into a whole bunch of new fox news bowls of chemo today but one of them, katie, was 56% of people think the president should go ahead and have some kind of state of the union. how does it end? the state of the union doesn t belong to nancy pelosi or president trump. it belongs to the american people. at the nancy pelosi, it s good that she made the decision and stepped up to the plate to disinvited the president rather than sitting around and see what he was going to do. but it s a petty move. i think it shows she doesn t have much leverage when it comes to policy because she has to go to this tactic instead of actually negotiating behind the scenes or in front of the american people. this is something that nancy pelosi invited the president to do to give the state of the union on january 3rd which was weeks into the shutdown. weeks before federal workers missed their first paycheck. to say it s about
