BUT - Yara is one teenager.  If that's what MM meant, she was jumping to a conclusion that was not warranted.  If ONE 17 year old cannot answer "who do you think could lead?" that does not warrant the conclusion that the "younger generation" does not see any leaders.  It just means that one person, not even old enough to vote, did not have an answer to that one question. 

Expand  

I thought she did have a good answer to that question. Yara's point was that no one politician is going to come in like a messiah and save everything, which is why she said 2018 needs to be the focus, not 2020.

So far...

 

Ana and Yara were both very good guest co-hosts... Greta was neither good nor bad... so I'll be intrigued to see how Niecy will be tomorrow.   If it's live, the show will be talking politics and I don't know how well versed she is on that.. but if it's pre-taped.. the fun segments will be hilarious.... and I don't think Niecy would take kindly to Meghan interrupting her..imho.

I think Bannon is a vile human being, but I'm sitting back eating my popcorn and watching the house of cards come crashing down. Perhaps all these new revelations explain Trump's recent temper tantrum on twitter.

If I bring a couple orders of nachos, can I have a seat next to you?  I love watching evil people crash and burn ...it's my favorite thing.

There were at least two gold moments on today's show. The first was when Greta tried to defend Sean Hannity by talking about how they're friends and Joy's only response was "I don't care."

 

Expand  

Another golden moment: After MM yells at Joy to let her finish her thought, Gretchen says something about Joy and Meghan fighting, to which Joy responds with a slight shrug, “no we’re not.”  LOL!

Joy isn’t intimidated by MM at all.

Bring a bottle of wine with those nachos and we’ve gotta deal! :)

About this new book coming out -- this whole thing is a shit show. I agree with Whoopi -- why in the hell would Trump invite a journalist inside the white house for an entire year?! I thought he hated the "fake news" media?! Now, as they stated on the show, his lawyer is sending out a cease and desist order to Steve Bannon. Too late, Trump! It's already a best-seller on Amazon and it's not even out yet! 

Expand  

Trump probably thought he could control the narrative. That the book would show him in a favorable light.

Expand  

If that is Greta's only defense of Hannity then Greta needs better judgment in choosing friends.

I think Meghan is going to become even more shrill as we get closer to the midterms.  As the resident Republican at the View she has her work cut out for her if she is going to try to rally support for the party.

Right.   She didn't answer the way MM wanted, with the name of one person.  MM was challenging her to name one progressive person who could lead, so that MM could then change the narrative to nitpicking about whomever she named.  Yara wasn't playing her game, which was very smart of her - she didn't allow MM to let the discussion go off on that tangent.

I was surprised the Greta didn't bother me. I was expecting her to be more of an apologist/defender for the Republicans, but I guess since their political discussion was only about Trump and the book she really didn't have an opportunity to talk about any other issues. 

Expand  

I'm wondering if Greta isn't deliberately downplaying her usually strident views since she's pretty much in a job seeking mode these days and may be trying to appeal to a broader audience than she usually attracts. While she defended that cockroach Hannity, her visit today was otherwise quite "vanilla", which is very unlike her.  It's funny what unemployment will do to a TV personality looking for a home.  Being a "contributor" to various network shows or organizations might suffice for the moment. but she's too ambitious to settle for that in the long run.  She's running out of major networks to take her on in an eponymous presentation.

MM, you are NOT a commentator (whatever you think that is), you are a republican gal* on a TV show panel hired to give your opinion on hot topics.  Stop trying to make yourself more than you are.  You are merely the daughter of a wealthy senator.  

 

 

* had to do that.

I consider a "commentator" someone who is actively sought out because of their background and knowledge on certain subjects. Who is seeking Meghan McCain's insight into anything aside from talking about subjects on "The View"?

She was a massive fail on MSNBC.  Her face is unfortunate.. Too much plastic surgery.  She got replaced by Ari Melber who is killing it on his show. He is brilliant, earnest, insightful, fair, goofy and does not suffer fools gladly. I love how he uses his past as a lawyer to bring gravitas to his discussions. I cannot praise this man enough..

That brings up a good point.  What does Meghan's past as a.............? bring to the discussion?

  • Love 9

Meghan can spout off all she wants to about wage disparities/etc.   OF COURSE, she can walk off a job if there's something she doesn't like*.  Very few of us have EVER been able to do it.  We bide our time...try to work out things--we bite our lips and keep on truckin' because we have to support ourselves and (usually) others.   Sometimes there's a way out; often there is not.

*I assume she will do something like that soon.

^^^ x 1000.  I love his show.  Well said!!!

Please, someone NEEDS to make a .gif of the top of Meghan's head about to blow off as she shrieked that "the journalists apparently have all access at all times!" I must have replayed it five times. To think, there are JOURNALISTS running around the White House!!!  Call the exterminators! Call the exorcists! Call Area 51!

Her hodd, her ass, whatever.  Please let something trip her wire so she stomps off the set, never to return.  Oh - and I hope the door does hit her on that ass on her way out.  Her entitled ice queen persona has reached its sell-by date.

On MM's first day, she talked about the split screen with Bits and Rosie, and how proud she was to be sitting in the same seat as Bitsy.  Then she said she was anticipating fighting with Joy.  So, yeah, it seems her intent, or her JOB, is to bait Joy into something similar to the Rosie/Bitsy fight.  

MM keeps trying, Joy seems amused by it, and doesn't fight back. 

Expand  

What Meghan fails to realize is, that unlike Rosie, Joy has very thick skin. She can take anything and everything that Meghan throws her way. Rosie was (and still is) very sensitive and emotional. Not to say that Rosie can't stand up for her beliefs or back up her opinions, because she clearly can, but that was just a set up for ugly by Geddie and he got his money's worth.

Just like Trump, Meghan needs a foil - a villain to play off of.  Joy's the only logical choice and she won't play that game no matter how much she's baited. So where does Meghan go from here if she can't engage anyone on the panel?

Arizona?  :)

No. Today Whoopi did that “finish your thought” or whatever babying crap she says when poor little so-called tough chick Meghan can’t dominate the conversation. 

As long as Whoopi is moderating, I don’t think there will any split-screen drama. When things get heated Whoopi always cuts to break or interjects what she thinks about a topic - to diffuse the tension I guess.

Or the producer in her earpiece is telling her to break to commercial.  The show is now under the news division and that’s not something news does.
