Nancy went right after Donald's weak spot, his vanity

...she went right after his appearance before millions, she pulled the rug out from under his planned great performance at the SOTU.

Speaker Pelosi is still holding the SOTU speech at bay, saying the date is still to be negotiated - effectively dangling it in front of Trump to keep him focused on what he agreed to today.

With the federal debt ceiling extension date coming in March, I'm thinking she might not agree to a SOTU date (or shouldn't) without a more permanent agreement to keep government open. Maybe legislation is needed to prevent federal workers' paychecks from being held hostage to someone's politics again.

There's been no firm agreement that the House will provide the venue for Trump to address the nation. Pelosi has made an invitation contingent on getting to a final bill funding the government. Clock's ticking on Trump right now, and Pelosi knows better than to trust Trump's word on anything.
