[LetsStartTalking]

The week looks promising. Wonder if Meghan will make it back for the Veteran's Day show, since, well...we all know..."She comes from a military family"? I don't think she will let that episode pass her by.

[Axie]

I’ll pass on Thursday.  Can’t stand Michael Strahan.

According to The View's Twitter, Cindy McCain will be on tomorrow to react to the election.

That should be interesting. I have a feeling going forward this will be a new show with new energy.

They are usually taped for Veteran's Day shows, but maybe they will be live this year since so much is going on.

Yeah but they are working for home for only 1 hour per day and it has been 6 weeks.  Not only that, being a "political expert" is her only self proclaimed claim to fame so why is she not at work during the election?

Whoopi, Trump and his team looking into possible fraud is owed to the 70 million Americans who voted for Trump. The American people need to be reassured that no crimes were committed.  So you being bitter over it does no good. If you are confident in no fraud then why not just relax and see what happens? 

[KLovestoShop]

I just think it’s a little hypocritical for Whoopi to tell the opposition to basically suck it up since Trumpster lost, but those women never did that for the past 4 years.  They never sucked it up, but constantly bitched and moaned every single day.

Can we ask President elect Biden to sign an executive order that forces MM to stay on maternity leave permanently?

[GoldenGirl90]

They all look much more relaxed and happy.

Exactly Sunny, Black votes matter!  I hope everybody realizes this..

Like Joy said if there was voter fraud, why didn't the Democrats take the Senate.  Republicans outperformed Democrats in the down ballot races..

Whoopi is 'on fire" this morning!  I was saying "Yes, Yes!" along with her.  So true, and all the women let out their feelings.  Sara was emotional & Ana was great....A good start on a good Monday morning.

Thank you for seeing the other side which these biased hosts don’t even try to do.

If he’s such an honest and fair man, he should welcome the election being reviewed. He wouldn’t want to win an election that wasn’t fair and honest, right?  

There are 70 million people that just want to make sure there was no impropriety.  We saw how the main stream media, social and otherwise, censored things.   For all Whoopie saying ‘ suck it up’, if the the tables were turned, they would be the first ones wanting it reviewed. 

[Stoned]

Heh,heh I was LoL with Ana.

[GoldenGirl90]

Sara is right - as we get closer to Biden and Harris being sworn in, the media should stop paying attention to Trump because that’s what he wants - attention.

That doesn't accurately reflect what Whoopi said, which was: 

Quote

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I want to bring something up right now. I want to say to all those people who don't believe that Americans actually got out and voted, let me say this to you: When you-know-who was elected four years ago, Hillary Clinton didn't say, "Hey, wait a minute. This doesn't feel right -- stop the count." She did say, "This isn't right. I'm not going for it." She didn't say any of that.

So all of you, suck it up. Suck it up like we sucked it up. And if you're not sure that you're comfortable with Joe Biden, do what we did: find things and then take it to the law. And if the law says it's something to look at, look at it. But from now on, suck it up. Grow the pair, for him, that he can't grow for himself. Because this is ridiculous -- you're not "sure that he won." You're bringing into question all these Americans who voted legally -- came out, and stood, and voted. How dare you question it? 

Shorter paraphrase and interpretation of what Whoopi said on today's show: when the tables were turned, Hillary Clinton didn't try to pretend that people didn't vote for Trump. She conceded the day after the election. The then-sitting president, Barack Obama, also acknowledged Trump's win.

I don't think that's an accurate assessment of what they have been saying on the show for four years.

No, most-to-all of The View hosts were not happy with Trump as president. Alone, that's true enough. They questioned his fitness for the job. Most of them suspected he was indebted to Russia for campaign interference (not fake votes). I don't recall them ever saying on the show that Americans did not vote for him. What I recall of what they said on the show is that they lamented that so many Americans voted for Trump.

 

[BuckeyeLou]

I enjoy Cindy McCain's thoughtful answers to the questions from the ladies...her daughter needs to take lessons from her Mom, learn how to be polite & gracious..no need to yell, or interrupt or make faces.  Interesting that Mrs. McCain is part of the Biden Transition team.

You worded this better than I could have.  This is the big difference,  I don't recall any of the women on The View ever saying Trump didn't win - they just wished that he hadn't.  

[OnTime]

When Whoopi went to Sunny for the first question on the election, did Sunny even say Joe Biden's name?

I know she has a Kamala love fest, but Joe Biden is/will be the President.  Also she calls it the "Biden-Harris Administration" which I don't think she will stop.

I don't blame her. As a (white) woman, I'm thrilled. I imagine it must be even more exciting for most Black women, Indian-American women, and other Women of Color.

Exactly.  NO ONE disputed the fact that the votes had been cast.   No one claimed fraud or demanded recounting Michigan or Pennsylvania in 2016.  Even though the margins were closer then than they are now.  They did what they should have and accepted the will of the people even though they didn't like it.  That's a HUGE difference from what is happening today.  That was the point of Whoopi's suck it rant.

Whoopi started off talking about Bush/Gore and Florida.   Even in that case they asked for every vote to be counted but it was ONE State and the difference was 500 votes.   And there was actual specific issues that were identified at the time of the election to be investigated. 

I don't think anyone has a problem with every vote being cast.  This country has been conducting elections for awhile.  There are pretty standard and long standing criteria for counting votes and calling states.   Biden/Harris has met that criteria.  But this election some want to change that standard, not based on facts or logic, but on wishes and conspiracy theories.   

Anna giggling over Guiliani and his 4 seasons press conference was the best....

I meant I don't blame her for referring to it as the Biden-Harris administration. If Sunny neglected to say Joe Biden's name, I didn't notice it. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear.

Hillary told Biden not to concede months ago..   So safe to say B/H would not be conceding if circumstances were reversed. Which is exactly what Trump is doing.

I think there is a huge difference between voters being disgruntled that their candidate didn't win, and the candidate himself stirring up the emotions by claiming he was robbed, making claims of fraud. His supporters are not going to accept the results until he acknowledges it himself. And the longer it goes on, the worse it will get.

I'm not arguing hypotheticals or politics with you.

On today's episode of The View, Whoopi was telling people who are denying the votes of Americans to suck it up for denying those votes. As I read your posts, you and Klovestoshop were misrepresenting what was said on The View.

I'm not fan of Sara, but the media should just focus more on Biden.  Maybe The View should do the same.

Will they be able to stop talking about Trump??

Not exactly. Hillary advised Biden not to rush to concede ON ELECTION NIGHT , because of the shift to mail in voting due to Covid.  Many states have to count early votes and mail in votes after all the election day votes are counted. 

(I dont want to get into a political debate,  but I do feel the need to correct a false  statement. )

Well missed the first 15 mins preempt for Joe's talk about the future.   Did get in just in time to see Ana's accolades! She was awesome! I laughed, i cried haahaa. The rest of the ep was good too, with Cyndy.  I hope she does accept a post. She would be great.  I hope she does accept a co host position on the panel.  Give Mom and Baby more time together.

[heysmilinstrange]

I was touched to see how choked up Whoopi got discussing Kamala and her role in history as the first female WOC VP. 

[GHScorpiosRule]

Is it just me, or did it look like today's show was reminiscent of the show in its early years?

There were a couple of questions where it looked like to me that Cindy McCain was...straddling the fence, or not directly answering Sunny or Joy's question; Questions being from Sunny, I think it was, whether she thought Trump would concede. Her answer was generic, and she didn't tell them if she thought he would or not. 

The other question from Joy about what Graham said, and it looked like she pivoted and she answered with "The right person was elected" for the state. Which, wasn't what Joy asked her.

But the BEST part was Ana not being able to keep it together and laughing hysterically when talking about the Four Seasons Landscaping warehouse.

But yeah, Whoopi was on FIRE! Today. And I heard her get choked up as she narrated the history of women.

Cindy is fine on the show "once in a while."  They don't need her daily for the rest of Meghan's leave. 

Ana is there and they need to remember that!!

I still can't figure out why they sometimes don't show the hosts during the opening. They didn't again today.

I think there are anchors on a certain network who don't like to properly pronounce the names of people of color who are on the left. This has to affect those who listen to them, no matter how much they mean to respect people like Kamala.

Cindy McCain still comes off as very cold, unemotional, and stiff. I always get the impression she thinks she is better than the four women hosting this show. And why hasn't she been to visit her daughter and the baby yet ? Something's odd there.

Interesting that Behar mentioned Biden is considering her for a 'Secretary' position in his administration. She tried to dance around it and focus on helping him now, but you could tell she'd love the position.

Mat leave is still mat leave, so I don't think it's fair to attack Meghan for being able to stay home and just be with her baby. Not many people have the same privileged, and not many have the privileged to be able to work in such an easy job, but if she wants to take time off then that should be accepted.
