But she is a "political commentator" according to her description of herself. Surely she could come up with a question or two for a US Senator who was given plenty of interview time on the show. Instead she sat there looking blank while others did ask RELEVANT questions.

Well the others were pretty quiet, what a delight. Even my husband watched.

I think I beat you with the eye-rolling when someone on the panel suggested 'Whoopi' should run for President!  I also agree we need a candidate with government experience or the very least a constitutional law degree.  It appears we've reached a time in our history where we've over-glorified celebrities. The Rock...Tom Hanks?  No, just NO!

They’ve joked about Whoopi running for President multiple times on the show and although I doubt she’d ever do it, I wish they would stop. It’s such an obvious form of ass-kissing and Whoopi probably knows it, too.

The person who told me said plus but probably meant prime. I dont have it so...just passing along the info if it is worth any help

OT Probably a record set for being a best seller even before it was released.  You get it free with an  audible trial. There is 2 + week wait even for prime members.

It will be good to see him on the show (even though I've seen him numerous times  find him legit as a lot has already been revealed and I'm glad Ana will be on that day. Sour faced "never Trump"  MM will attempt to take him down, I predict FAIL  

Pass on Marie Osmond as she will complain about having to work with her brother. 

Helen is probably on for her new movie "Winchester" which was filmed down the street from me and a big part of San Jose history. 

Lindsey is just part  of the majority of the right who kiss ass but in private slam him , now it will all come to light. Hope the panel can take turns with the interview. 

Bastard  uncle? What the heck? Classy.  Is that implication her mother had sex with him?  I can't figure out how you are a bastard uncle.  After listening and watching her I don't even believe her when. she said she didn't vote for Trump. 

shoot  I thought they announced Wednesday was when Wolf was on.

Tanya is being presented as a victim. 

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that one.

Alison Janney has been doing the interview circuit and she most definitely speaks about Tonya being the victim of a terrible mother and making it to the top under duress.

Umm, not to be nitpicky, okay, okay, I am being nitpicky, but those that know me, know I'm anal about this, but it's Tonya. With an 'o.'

As Joy or someone said, the important thing is that Trump is defeated. As much as I think that a non-celebrity type who has political experience is preferable, if it takes an Oprah then so be it. RO tweets that Oprah is the opposite of Trump. We need the opposite of Trump. A "stable genius" . . . please. Whether it's Oprah or The Rock (or "A Rock" per Ana N), the important thing is that Trump is out of office, the sooner the better.

I agree!!  

Oprah or Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) would choose a good VP and cabinet with the experience needed.

I  am coming around to the notion of an Oprah candidacy. She is super smart, and she has tons of managerial experience. Think how she could inspire the country. If she had a VP with government experience that might be an unbeatable combination. Oprah could probably take on the haters well too, because she has extreme confidence and an attitude that would overcome negativity. How great it would be to have Oprah as the first woman President.

Tonya did have a terrible mother and did make it to the top under duress, that's undeniable.  This has nothing to do with TH definitely not being a victim when it comes to the Nancy Kerrigan attack.

Of course not. I hope I didn't imply that.  I was just stating  what Janney was saying in her interviews.  I am the messenger! Don't shoot.  Lol

Proud of this show truly showcasing all sides. This show is more relevant and important more than ever

[atlantaloves]

I will say this, as much as I kinda hate Lindsay Graham, he gave me the biggest belly laugh I have had in weeks, the genius comment. THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.  He wasn't anywhere as bad as I expected him to be, which isn't saying much. I enjoyed the show for once. Love having Ana every day!

I have always said, I don't want a President who's "like me." I want someone brilliant, someone who knows how to manipulate his or her way around Washington (which is something one of my favorite people, Jimmy Carter, didn't know how to do and it was detrimental), someone who lives and breathes policy. I want a wonk. As much as I think Oprah's head and heart are in the right place, I don't want someone who has to have a big learning curve.

Chelsea has some pretty groovy accomplishments of her own, but I get your point. To contrast with Meghan, Jenna Bush Hager has a job in TV, and I'm sure she got it because of her family name, but she's good at it (imo). She doesn't pretend to be representing the entire Republican Party, or to Megspain how it works. It pains me to say, because I am not a fan of some of her First Daughter antics, but I like her public persona very much.

Oprah would quickly grasp how things work and as mentioned above she would surround herself with the best and the brightest. 

 

Jenna Bush Hager has carved out a job that suits her.  Yes she was hired because of who she is but she doesn't use her dad to further her career and remind us on a daily basis who he is.  Meghan on the other hand doesn't seem to have an identity other than being John McCain's daughter.

Oprah would be smart enough to know what she doesn't know.  She would hire the best of the experts and she would listen to them.  Most importantly, I don't think she would get into Twitter fights with the other world leaders.  Maybe she would give every American a new car.  :)

But Ana doesnt have the familiar relationship with him , as Meg does..that's all I meant :-)

[GHScorpiosRule]

Okay, so I’m watching now and already I’m ???at Meghan with her ‘All these protests are good’ blah, blah, blah, “But what’s the next step?” Seriously? Has she NOT been following the stories about what women are talking about what the next steps should be? They’ve all been talking about It since this can of snakes opened!

And Whoopi can SHUT IT with her Faux knowledge and smug superiority that all women who are domestic workers just need to band together and it will stop. No, it won’t because there will always be another woman desperate to work and support her family that she will put up with it. 

And really, Meghan? You don’t know “much” about Oprah? Sure you don’t know her personally, but there is information about her on the internet! She had a network, had a show that ran for 25 YEARS. Has been in movies and television shows. So shut up with your “Duh...I dunno nuttin’ about Oprah” schtick.

And I’m with Sunny-I want someone who has Political Experience to run for the highest office. And I can’t believe NONE of these ladies can think of a single person or two who can. I can think of at least two, but since politics is a no-no, I’ll just leave it at that. Whoever runs can try and get Oprah to stump for them, like she did for President Obama.

Be back later as that lyin’ hypocritical two-faced douche is on next.

OH! And according to the announcer, Wolf will be on Wednesday. Unless the ladies corrected it and said Thursday?

Edited January 9, 2018 by GHScorpiosRule

[GHScorpiosRule]

Oooh, Graham with his perfunctory and “correct” answers. He sounds almost sincere. Let’s see if he’ll put his money where helps mouth is. And again, Meghan? What the FUCK does she mean when she refers to Graham as her “bastard” uncle???

Let’s see what happens in part II.

I agree with Sonny that as appealing as a President Oprah sounds, we really need someone who understand how government works.

Exactly. Though she’s a successful businesswoman, you can’t run the government like a business.  We are seeing the effects of that right now.

[maggiemae]

I'm not sure yet how I feel about Oprah possibly running. But I know one thing - to hear her soaring speech last night that was inclusive of all Americans (and the world) was music to my ears.

I saw the first 25 minutes today and then had to leave for an appointment. I've seen a few clips of LG. Good grief, I don't trust him at all. In addition he puts party before country.

This is the thread for discussing a tv show called “The View” and its episodes this week. The majority of recent posts have had nothing to do with The View. 

Posts that are about Meghan McCain in general need to go in her thread. Unrelated John McCain posts need to go on a different message board altogether.

Seriously vomit-worthy (with a silver spoon)  that MM would dismiss a celebration of women unified and standing up for each other against sexual and all other harrassment last night at the Globes.  MM is completely clueless because she has no concept of this women's movement  revitalization since the second wave  began in the 60's.  She has wealth and a famous father so she never had to work for anything--even on this show her stupidity is glaring, and lack of preparation obvious. 

By asking "What's next?" MM  revealed her complete ignorance of women's issues that have been worked on for decades by dedicated women and men,  and  ON-GOING since the early 60's. 

You think MM would make an effort to LEARN about any issue, but given her lip service about veterans, moreso their needs, including female veterans and active duty staff who face sexual harrassment/rape consistently during their time. 

[maggiemae]

Really, MM does not understand the point of Times Up. They have raised $15M for legal defense for women and men for workplace sexual harassment and abuse. 

Hope this was ok on this thread because it was the discussion on TV today.

[thejuicer]

I don't believe Bastard Uncle's story either. It was not solely on Meghan McCain's advice that John McCain didn't go after Obama/Reverend Wright. It might make a nice little story but I don't believe that for a second. I give John McCain a lot more credit than that.

I love Ana Navarro and every time she guest hosts I think Meghan has to know how easily replaceable she can be.

[lexytheblasian]

I'm glad they talked about the hypocrisy in Ivanka Trump's tweet about Oprah's speech.. I laughed hysterically at Alyssa Milano's tweet back at her, which was talked about on the show: 

Whoopi suggested that maybe Ivanka's tweet is, in some weird way, a silent "I believe my dad's accusers"? I don't know if I'd go that far so I'm leaning more towards Sunny's assessment: she's just clueless. I also agreed with Meghan McCain (surprisingly) when she said Ivanka Trump will never be able to detach herself from her dad's presidency and legacy (it seems like she's trying). Of course, Meghan had to make it about her, as she kept bringing up her dad. I understand Ivanka Trump simply may have found the speech to be moving and inspiring like everyone else, but the hypocrisy is astounding and whatever she tries to do moving forward, will have the stain of her father's persidency on it.

Pertaining to the mental health of the President, I agree with what Sunny said: attorneys must pass mental evaluations, nearly 90 percent of police officers must also pass mental evaluations, but we don't require that for the most powerful and important position in our nation? Whoopi said that the white house responded to questions about his mental health nearing the date of his physical, saying Trump will absolutely not undergo any mental evaluation. I agree with Whoopi, I think legislation should be required for future presidents to undergo mental evaluations. Why it hasn't been made a requirement decades ago, I'm not sure, but as Whoopi said, the current president is unlike any from year's past and has raised questions we never thought we'd ask.

Ashley Graham is so beautiful! And is it just me or did Greta Gerwig seem stoned or really nervous, lol?

Ashley Graham's outfit was driving me nuts.  Every time she was on camera, I wanted to reach out and put those damn straps on her shoulders.

I also really dislike the uncombed look that Greta Gerwig was sporting.  It just looks lazy.

Yes, I'm grumpy today.

Ashley is lovely, but those straps were distracting me.

And this is petty, but can Sunny (who I like) stop saying , "impor-ant." And don't get me started on MM"s stupid accent.

Megan's hair is straight, fine and thin.  When close to her head it makes her slightly overweight body look larger than it is.  I am not fat shaming, just stating fact.  She needs to lose the extensions and go for a shoulder length cut to frame her face.  Beautiful face and much more so with lighter lipstick.  They have makeup and hair people who do everyone before the show so I am surprised they have missed the mark with her. 

I wonder if Ivanka's tweet is the beginning of her distancing herself from her father.  First baby step?  She may be seeing her future laid out in front of her and realizes that it does not include success!

As for their working hours, I recall that when Rosie O was on, she wanted them to change start tim from 9 to 8am so people would have more time to prep on hot topics. Miss Whoopi, big surprise. threw a major hissy fit and it has remained 9. I doubt anyone stays after the show (you can probably feel the wind from Whoopi as she dashes out of the building). They are given books and videos to watch in prep as homework and it's sorta easy to see who actually does it (again, Whoopi is the worst!!!!)

I just hate that Tonya is being canonized this way. I don't care about her poor childhood. Boo freaking hoo.  She is not the victim.

I don't see Tonya's being "canonized," and feel that she was a victim in many ways.   There is a great difference between Nancy Kerrigan's loving/supportive "working class" family and Tonya's hardscrabble background (not just financial).   I lean toward defending the simple comments made against her.  I plan to see the movie and watch the 2hr special.  Maybe I'll learn something I don't remember from those days.  I know I had nothing but negative feelings then.  I've grown/seen a lot since then.
