‘The View’ Has a Meghan McCain Problem
NYT ^ | Jan 16, 2020 | Shamira Ibrahim

During an episode of “The View” earlier this month, Senator Elizabeth Warren explained her wealth tax plan for the top one-tenth of the 1 percent. Some viewers were quick to notice the presidential candidate’s sly and effective tactic while doing so: a deft rebuffing of the co-host Meghan McCain’s multiple attempts to interject. Ms. Warren never skipped a beat while ignoring Ms. McCain until she was prepared to engage in discussion with her on her own terms, to raucous applause.

Ms. Warren seemed to know what she would be up against when appearing on the long-running daytime talk show. Since Ms. McCain joined as a co-host on “The View” in October of 2017, she’s become its most polarizing and predictable figure, the common denominator in the show’s most contentious round tables as of late....

Ms. McCain, for her part, reminded everyone that this is to be expected, as she is “hyper, hyper conservative.”

The name of the show is "The View" as in there is only one view allowed.

It’s more than a Mccain problem.

This show is only watched by people who don’t have jobs, ie. Progressives

Why support it by talking about it?

I thought the name of the show was changed to “The Spew.”

If she’s so fragile as to be intimidated by someone like little Middle-Road Meggie, then her policies must really suck.

When Republicans were that good deal more common on daytime TV, lol (Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra and also with Ginger Rogers, circa 1970-71).

I dunno. Joy is pretty predictable.

McCain seems to be their Juan Williams. Except that, unlike Juan, her points are actually valid.

Haha! Look at Sinatra’s right hand. Was that after punching a photographer?

Bingo! All the naysayers here will not agree that Megan at least stirs it up over there, in many instances, for “us”. She has more guts than most male congress-pubes.

What a monkey show. I guess that the progeny of the evil McCain is severely conservative, just like Bishop Romney.

My, then what does that make me? Super-sublimely, transcendentally hyper, hyper conservative? We’ve reached the limits of hyperbole.

It is not a “long-running daytime talk show.”

It IS a long-running daytime bitch-fest.................
