POLITICO Playbook: ‘The View’ struggles to find a Republican

Politico ^

Before taking off for the holidays, the four long-standing hosts of “The View” had a message for executive producer BRIAN TETA: We’re tired of the rotating cast of Republican guest hosts.

[Tench_Coxe]

There may be a common denominator. But it requires something you "ladies" on the View are incapable of doing.

.

To quote Ross Perot, that giant sucking sound you hear is people wanting to have nothing to do with your sorry a**es, and that anger hasn't even reached its peak.

[dfwgator]

Like the Harlem Globetrotters are looking for players for The Washington Generals.

[Tench_Coxe]

No one is playing anymore.

If the pearl clutchers could get a clue, its time for them to start worrying, imho.

[KarlInOhio]

More like the Washington Generals looking for a single Globetrotter they can gang up on. Preferably not one of the good ones who can break a four-on-one defense.

[DaBroasta]

Liz Cheney is going to be looking for a new gig soon.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Liz Cheney will be available next year.

Maybe Ted Cruz’s choice for VP, that woman who ruined HP.

[Celerity]

Antonio Sabato jr.

Look up his interview on the view. He made them look like idiots in such a nice way. He’s a real class act.

I wonder what Danny Bonaduce is doing these days?

[LittleBillyInfidel]

No, they’re just having a difficult time finding a female Republican who’s as ugly or uglier than the two host beasts - and Liz “Lon” Cheney is currently unavailable.

[rlmorel]

For the life of me, I cannot imagine why there isn't SOME conservative woman out there SOMEWHERE who would jump at this opportunity.

[SaxxonWoods]

Switch it around for a month and watch the ratings skyrocket.

One liberal, the rest conservatives.

[rlmorel]

I swear, if it were a male Leftist group looking for a conservative guy they could all attack, I would rather have Jordan Pederson to face them than anyone else out there.

That man, while he may not be utterly fearless, sure acts like he is when arguing his points, even in a many-to-one attack. That guy is amazing.

[Republican Wildcat]

Liz Cheney may soon be available.

[Republican Wildcat]

well, I wasn’t the first one on that...

[struggle]

It’s a shame Norm McDonald is unavailable

[struggle]

The answer is so easy: Ana Navarro

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Now why wouldn’t any Republican want to spend time with the propaganda-spewing Joy Behar? Lessee . . .

[jjotto]

What? Maggie Haberman and Jennifer Rubin not available?

[gitmo]

They will not consider a Republican who is a denier of the 2020 election results, embraced the January 6 riots, or is seen as flirting too heavily with fringe conspiracy theories or the MAGA wing of the GOP. But at the same time, the host must have credibility with mainstream Republicans, many of whom still support DONALD TRUMP.

So they want a conservative who is not in touch with reality.

[fieldmarshaldj]

They said finding a Republican.

[jdsteel]

From the article:

“ Sources close to the show said that the search has stalled as executives struggle to find a conservative cast-member who checks all the right boxes. They will not consider a Republican who is a denier of the 2020 election results, embraced the January 6 riots, or is seen as flirting too heavily with fringe conspiracy theories or the MAGA wing of the GOP. But at the same time, the host must have credibility with mainstream Republicans, many of whom still support DONALD TRUMP.”

Also….

“They are really looking for a unicorn,” said a former show staffer.
