No.  

[Haleth]

Wow. I wasn’t expecting Abby to leave. 

[Ladyrain]

Abby's leaving.   (Who's Abby?).    Best of luck to her, but she will not be missed as she contributes so little of note.   WHYYYYYY can't it be The Nutjob?!?!?!?

[itstheworm]

Meghan... You raggedy bitch... You had to take Abby's moment didn't you? Meghan spilled the beans on Twitter about Abby leaving about 15 minutes before they went on air.. 

[GoldenGirl90]

Abby is out and I don't feel one way or the other. I'm just wondering who will replace her?

And she didn't sound too convincing when she told Meghan, "I love you and we'll be friends forever."

Of course Meghan had to.  She can't stand to not be the center of attention

[Cementhead]

Voice over Lady promised an announcement from one of the co-hosts that will "change the history of the show" .... um, okay?  Talk about overselling the impact. 

[GladysCravits]

Just now, Haleth said:

Neither did I,  and kinda sad about it. 

[Ladyrain]

Can TPTB pleeeeeease get out their big wallet or whatever it would take to get Ana to replace Ahby?????    I am BEGGING.

[Bronzedog]

Wow.  Friday's her last day.  She can't wait to get outta there.

[2JEWELL]

Maybe that’s why she’s been so outspoken and standing up to me-again lately.  I was just starting to like her

[GoldenGirl90]

That was kind of weird. Sunny told Abby she "valued her friendship" and there was a short pause and Abby didn't reciprocate. 

Abby can't wait to get the hell outts there.

[Was-MArsenault]

I knew that Abby wouldn't last long.

[lusinia]

There she goes - Meghan:"I can understand better than anybody".

Why would Meghan think Abby would come back after the primary?  I know it's Utah, but there's still a general election to get through.  Or does she think Abby's dad will lose?

[Pearson80]

I like Abby when she is not being Megan's backup singer.  Megan should have left, why can't we have nice things.. Her story about having to help her dad with his campaign rings false to me.  She could have taken a sabbatical to help him out. Nonetheless, I wish her all the best. I love the way she looks in clothes, so tall and modelesque.. Of course, her shiny hair, she is truly a beautiful woman..

[Cementhead]

Oh, and I loved how Joy told Abby that she has been such an easy going, pleasant person to work with. (paraphrasing)

[Bronzedog]

I'm glad her career is going so well, but, I'd love to see Yvette Nicole Brown in that seat.

Whoopie looks good in that top.

[BuckeyeLou]

Sorry to see Abby go...she was mostly low-key and as Joy pointed out 'one of the nicest, most easy going people ever on the show".  I would like to see Ana be full time but doubt she would leave Miami, or Tara Setmeyer.

Meghan will throw a hissy fit if they hire anyone who will challenge her.

[Ladyrain]

So, first Megaphone steps on Abby's announcement by tweeting it first herself.   And just now she stepped all over Whoopie's toes by announcing Corey Booker suspending his campaign.   What a loathesome person.   Can't let anybody get the jump on her, no matter who, no matter what.

You say that like it's a bad thing.  Lol.   I'd love to see her throwing fits every single day; eventually she'd implode.

[MeThinkMeNot]

The Bernie hate is too much, because he campaigned for Hillary and more of his supporters voted for Hillary compared to Hillary supporters voted for Obama. Bernie didn't hurt Hillary, they were against each other and they have to show how they're different. Whoopi making it seem like it's his fault and Meghan chiming in is so dumb.

Whoopi, the candidates need to prove that they are the ones who can lead over the others and pointing out their differences is hyow you do that.

Megan would be triggered everyday if Tara and Ana were on the panel.  I believe that story of her blocking Ana from joining the view full time.  She is an insecure thin-skinned baby..

[Ladyrain]

edited to add:   What am I saying??  She already has daily hissy fits.   But maybe the more, the better.   She could exhaust herself into a medical thingy, or best of all, a firing.

I was looking at her Twitter feed last night, and she spent the weekend in Utah campaigning, so it's at least partly true.

Sunny's red eye shadow is truly scary looking.

[Vanderboom]

Oh man, I'd LOVE if Tara Setmayer replaced Abby!

Oh,  I'm glad Meghan pointed out that Cory Booker should have lasted longer than Michael Bloomberg. I'm still bitter about his third term as mayor.

You have come up with the perfect solution!   Ana AND Tara, each on 2 or 3 days a week.   Surely Ana could work with that?????

I loved Joy's "your such an easy person to work with".  I always thought of Abby that way -- similar to Sarah in that regard as she is not one to jam her opinions down your throat.  I hope Meagain had nothing to do with this, as I really don't want another crazy incoherent combative republican on the show to let her get more airtime.   Ana would be wonderful or another succinct, smart republican that can at least provide the viewpoint that I do feel is necessary.

I agree with you, there were Hillary supporters who campaigned for John McCain over Obama in 2008.  To be fair, Bernie gave a tepid endorsement of Hillary and he does have fans who are really rabid and devoted to him. I could go on about them but it would be off-topic..

[lusinia]

You know what's funny?  Meghan thinking she can get the better of Adam Schiff.

[Bronzedog]

When Meghan said to Adam Schiff, "This is Meghan McCain, your best friend", you could almost see him grimace and think, "Eat shit, Meghan."

Or “Who??”

[Cementhead]

Like it or not, deny it or don't, McCain has a lot of power on this show and I won't be at all surprised to hear that she gets top pick on helping to choose the next Republican co-host to be her new back-up singer.  They have to keep McCain happy at all times, don't ya know.  Kinda like a Gremlin; you have to feed them often or they go bat shit.  Same with McCain, gotta keep her happy or she will implode.  Though, how would we be able to tell?  Since she does so daily now.  Maybe S.E. Cupp is excitedly waiting for the call from her bestie?  I don't know how many people watch her random weekend evening show on CNN. 

[jkspeaks]

So Abby is leaving, but that loudmouth bitch Meghan stays. Please

Even better, that would be two people Meghan would be unhappy about that she would have to deal with.

More power than Whoopi? The Whoopi who managed to get rid of Rosie because she was threatened? I dunno...

I DO know, that unless ALL advertisers pull away, Her Twatness will remain. If anyone else had behaved the way she has, they'd have been shown their walking papers. Yet, she still remains.

[GoldenGirl90]

I just hope Abby's replacement isn't another one of Meghan's "good friends."

Exactly all this show does is smear Bernie, i am sick of it.

I didn't bring up Whoopi but since you did, yes, sadly I really do think that she has as much or even more power as Whoopi now because how else do we explain her still being there?  Whoopi would have had her ass fired long ago if she could have.  Although, there is the little sticky situation of her being the one to have the Bitch *hired* in the first place and promising to "take care of Meghan" as per John McCain.  No good deed goes unpunished!

[Haleth]

I’m surprised Meg didn’t chime in re the Iran issues. 

[MeThinkMeNot]

I liked Tara, but I don't want another Republican voice on the show. I'd rather have a progressive one, since it's severely lacking on the show. Plus, it would blow Meghan's head since she'd have to argue why Medicare for All is a bad thing to someone who is actively for it.

[itstheworm]

I believe Whoopi has more power than Meghan. I just don't feel Whoopi is at all threatened by Meghan. I believe she was very threatened by Rosie. I think the reason why Meghan is still there is because she makes the headlines. As childish and disrespectful as she is... When this show is "trending" 9 times out of 10, Meghan is a main catalyst as to why. Hate watch, or love watch.. People are still watching, and talking.. That's all that matters.

Whoopie was threatened by Rosie who challenged her and she does not like that.  We all saw how Jedediah and Paula both used to always challenge her opinions and they were both removed to appease Whoopie. Notice how the other ladies do not do that.  Not even Joy. Though, I do believe that Joy has some power as well, she just chooses not to use it. Joy takes the job for what it is and will not let an insignificant person like Messy get under her skin.

I believe you are right, Megan is here to stay until she does something really bad on the air that will force ABC's hands. 

[OnTime]

Not really buying Abby's " I need to work on my dad's campaign" reason but The View always lets them create their own reason for leaving.

If she really needed to work on the campaign, they could have accommodated it if they didn't want to lose a great talent!

Yes, and therein lies her power.  She brings the clicks and the likes and the tweets and the retweets and the memes and the gifs and the online news articles and the eyeballs.  Sadly, in 2020, this is way more important to a tv network that having an EGOT. 

[TheGreenKnight]

I'll miss Abby. I didn't agree with her, but at least she had some class. Hopefully Ana or Yvette will be her replacement.

Exactly! I don't believe her story at all. I think the producers wanted her to be like Megan combative and disrespectful in order to make waves.. The same thing happened to Nicole Wallace who is slaying it on her own show. I absolutely love her on there..

[Miss Slay]

The papers had leaked that Abby was on the chopping block six months ago. She only got the job because Meghan demanded it - which isn't fair to others. Plus, the View is supposed to about different views and backgrounds. IMO, Meghan and Abby had too similar of backgrounds for one panel. I'd like them to pick someone who is not a child star or the child of a politician for the millennial seat. Maybe even someone who took out student loans!
