25. For our elected Democrats to sit there throughout would send a message of tacit approval

I've ALWAYS hated the thunderous sustained applause as ANY president entered the chamber, then revived again when he takes the podium.

Most of the time it is SO hypocritical, and it dilutes any well deserved bipartisan applause for a president who actually achieved something truly remarkable for the American people.

Democrats should stand silently with their backs turned away when the vile orange creature enters the chamber, offering no applause.

Then, when he reaches the podium, EVERY Democrat should walk out of the chamber.

Either that, or not attend at all.
