Why not take the High Road?

I'm not alleging who started the tiff between Trump and Pelosi last night, but both are responsible for not respecting the venue of the State of the Union, by not relating or omitting comments that are a part of the formalities; showing disrespect the Speaker of the House by as I've read (didn't see the speech) in news items, turned his back, refused to shake her hand, and then the public ripping up of the speech. Both IMO failed to show and display any decorum for this national event, by their actions. Shameful!

It was not a great night for decorum, but I was actually surprised it went as well as it did, given the fundamental differences that have now been exposed.

Things are likely to get even uglier soon.

@MistyCee Let's hope not!

@soar2newhighs I wish it wouldn't, but I think the fight will move on to Bolton next, and I doubt that's going to be civilized.

@MistyCee That may happen, but what took place last night, regardless of one's political party backing and support, it was a national venue that was insulted as were those in attendance by the behaviors of two figures who should have had the decency to as I said, take the high road. If they're at each other's throats as politicians often are, there's a time and place for it, but not at The State of The Union.

@soar2newhighs I hear you, but the State is pretty ununified despite what the speech said.
