The opposition party sitting on their hands is nothing new...This is really a non-story.
Thank you. These people acting like this has never happened before are just making themselves look foolish.
They got up and cheered like they just won the Superbowl when Trump announced at the last SOTU that there were more women in Congress than every before. But honoring one's self has never been much of a problem for members of Congress.
They also all stood up and clapped for the Army guy that was reunited with his family last night.
Why do you people insist on pretending this is some new thing that has never happened before?
I just do not understand the need for such willful ignorance.
I think the point is it just seems odd, since they clapped for the same point last year (for sake of completeness, the standing applause from the female Democrate in white in my previous post also applied to the comments about women filling a high percent of newly created jobs in the economy)
Here's a link to the video of that (even Trump joked "you weren't supposed to do that"):

What they clap for and do not clap for is planned well ahead of time, by both parties.
