Raphael (Ted) Cruz is afraid to show up, knowing he'd get hit by the shrapnel. In absentia, his candidacy will take a huge hit, point-blank and dead-center.

and a strong reminder of what the situation was like when he took office, all of that should come up to lash the Republicans for their lack of help, obstruction, and outright sabotage.

On climate change, last I looked NOAA is scheduled to announce the December numbers and 2015 annual numbers on Jan. 20th, the day after the SOTU. I think everybody knows they will announce 2015 set a new record for warmest year, smashing the record set in 2014. So the day after the SOTU, Obama will get to say, "I told you so" on climate change. I wonder if the GOP will be able to stop themselves from criticizing his climate change statements and claiming it's all a hoax for that half a day.

On unemployment I hope he quotes Mitt Romney's promise to get it to 6.0% by 2016, when Obama got it down to 5.0%.

The deficit for 2015 was down to $468 B (about 2 1/2% of GDP), the lowest during Obama's administration, about 1/3 of what it was when he took office, and far, far less than Republicans ever promised to reduce it to.

And, of course, Republicans just tried to take away medical insurance from tens of millions of Americans.

he's going to LIE through his teeth about TPP

He's going to try to convince us that the destruction of US jobs and US Sovereignty is somehow GOOD for us.

When he lies about the number of jobs that will be created by TPP, see if he mentions if they will be GOOD PAYING AMERICAN jobs, or just that there will be jobs.
