I understand Joy's point, but if the debates are held Biden has to participate (although I won't be watching - fool me once as they say).  But I'd prefer if they just cancelled the next two debates.  Just more free air time for him to lie, bully and bluster.  Blech!  

I don't agree with her either.

The debates shouldn't be cancelled because Trump is out of control. They give him the ground rules in advance and if he doesn't follow them, he gets ejected.

[Haleth]

I like the idea of either an air horn or a shock collar. 

[rcc]

Maybe every moderator should have a gavel. 

[pinguina]

I think it's important for Biden to participate in the debates (he has continued to say he will, although the "other" guy keeps stating that Biden won't show up) so I disagree with Joy.   Not just because it is what we, as a country, have a history of presidential debates but because it would play in the "guy in the white house" (TM Whoopie) narrative that Biden is afraid of him.  Biden showed that "the guy in the white house" could not rattle him (which seemed to be *"tgitwh" plan A, maybe his only plan).  I also think that Biden has seen the crazy and can deal with it better the next time around.  

I have to add that I liked Sunny's suggestion that they should each be in a soundproof booth (where they can hear the other person but not be able to interrupt, yell, scream, have loud outbursts, lie..).  That would be great 

OR THIS

I kind of enjoyed that after the political discussion they did the segment with the judges (I watch "Hot Bench", I like it) and the one with the teacher.  Just something light to end the show with (which they can do without a certain someone saying, "I don't know anything about that," "I don't have any kids" "I'm a political analyst" - gee, I wonder who that is?)

shock collar gets my vote, do they come in super charge?

[deirdra]

A shock collar or a clear sound booth that could be lowered over you know who when he interrupts are great ideas.  They can tell him the booth is for his protection.  Or Cones of Silence like they had on Get Smart.

Why not both??? 😉😂

[GoldenGirl90]

I’m late, but I agree with Joy. I don’t think there are a lot of undecided voters at this point. 

[Axie]

I think the debates are important if only to have the President’s behavior on display.

[Medicine Crow]

George Will suggested a trap door!!!  LOLOL.

[Haleth]

Positive diagnosis = no more debates?  I suppose they could do it remotely.  That way the moderator could have more control.

[HerkyJerky]

Prediction for today's show:  Meghan makes a surprise appearance because when they talk about Trump testing positive, she can pull out her patented "the chickens are coming home to roost" phrase!

[Pearson80]

Thank you Ana for saying that we can feel sympathy for the President for testing positive for the Coronovirus while criticizing the way he mishandled his response of the dreadful disease. I could say more but it would be off-topic...

I didn't really agree with Ana when she said that. In my eyes, if you feel like Trump is a danger to the world, has millions of people's blood on his hands and that he's a fascists, then feeling sympathy for him and praying that he gets better means you're hoping he goes back to doing horrible things.

I will follow that old rule of if you don't have anything nice to say about someone keep your mouth shut.  Trump has covid?  It's a little chilly here today. Fall came quickly.

This is odd. I don't watch the show very often, I usually just read here. But twice this week  I decided I wanted it on in the background and didn't see it in my lineup. I know which affiliate and channel it is and what time it's on but ... nada. The first two times I blew it off but today I searched my guide for it and discovered that it's being shown at 3AM! The show description is labeled NEW and has today's date. If it was on earlier in the day and then also at 3AM the second showing wouldn't be labeled as NEW, that's how my guide works. Anyone else? 

 

[TheGreenKnight]

Joy looked great today. I really enjoyed today's show, even with a guest taking up most of the time. The show's just so much better without Whoopi and especially McCain.

I loved the myriad of topics that they covered that will affect the elections, everybody added to the discussions and the show just flowed so much better without Whoopie's incoherence and Nutmeg's nastiness..

[Axie]

Joy and Ana said all the right things concerning POTUS having the virus, but, I somehow doubt their sincerity.

are you being pre-empted for baseball playoffs?  They're on ABC here in Chicago, if you're west of us, that would probably be the case.

The View has always been a morning show here and MLB starts at noon. But thank you for the response, it sent me on another search.

There's a one hour local goober morning show called Good Things Utah, it's sorta like the Kelly and Ryan format but with 4 Stepford Wife hosts and local goober guests and topics. It's been on for 18 years and I've seen it just enough times to know that it's a snooze fest.  

Turns out that last week, after all these years, it's been expanded to two hours so it took over The View's time slot. 

Maybe The View's ratings are so lousy in the Salt Lake City market that 3AM is all it deserves.

They may be replaying it due to the news break-ins

I can see all y'all's points.  I've not forgotten anything or how angry the guy can make me feel, but i don't wish bad on him or anybody.  Maybe its Karma coming to visit.  I keep listening to the reports of peeps and their results thank goodness Biden is negative. But what does that mean? It could Change on a whim.  Ck again in 15 mins.

As with Joy, his losing the election is enough for me.

Ooh, a commercial disguised as a segment.  Getting sneaky, show, getting sneaky. 

I noticed this week they're ending each show with an 'infomercial'. They got rid of the 'struggling small business that's about to close their doors for good' segments they ran during the Spring and Summer, and replaced it with these infomercials ?

Helen Reddy died, did they even mention that?

Yes, they did - that's how I found out!  When I Googled Helen Reddy's death, I found out singer/ songwriter Mac Davis died the next day. Davis was very popular in the 70s, and wrote many hits for his friend Elvis Presley. However, they didn't mention him. Hmmmmmm.

I heard that when Ben first met Meghan, he told her, "Baby, Baby don't get hooked on me" and she replied, "It's Hard to be Humble when you're perfect in every way"

...OR it's a way to ease their guilt for what they're really thinking (that it might take him out).

And I tripled their sincerity 😉

[RealHousewife]

I think there’s something about someone you don’t care for being in a vulnerable state that softens you toward them. This virus is scary. I wish the President, First Lady and everyone else who got it a speedy recovery.

Agreed. Being vulnerable and/or feeling vulnerable means one is human. I just wish some folks would show the same humanity during non-vulnerable times.

They are faces in the media and ABC employees. Sometimes a person can't say the truth in that position, unfortunately--either because of how it will be used by political figures or how it might affect their employment.

I don't think anyone has mentioned when Joy just randomly mentioned the Rosie on a show this week. No one responded to it.

Did I somehow sleep through Jaime Harrison's appearance? I was looking forward to it.

Looks like he's been re-scheduled to next Friday.

Friday, Oct. 9 — The Political View with South Carolina Democratic Senate nominee Jaime Harrison who is running against Sen. Lindsey Graham
