Going to college doesn't necessarily make someone "highly educated". 

It also doesn't make you smart.  It's too bad Meghan didn't inherit any of her father's intelligence.  Poor thing, she lost the gene pool jackpot, she got her father's temperment, and while she got her mother's skin, which is flawless, she also inherited her mother's low IQ.  She's just like Ivanka Trump:  everything (money, education, career) handed to her on a silver platter, while totally against giving anyone a hand up.

Give me strength to tolerate MM with Bernie, I really don’t know if I’m up to it.

I don't expect her or Abby to go after him. I expect the opposite, actually. They'll probably cheer him on the way they've done every other time the show's discussed BS... Sunny's the only one I have any hope for in that interview. Can't believe I'm saying it, but I wish Whoopi could be there for this interview.

[bannana]

Poor, persecuted, highly educated NutMeg.  Joy wonders why the Repubs continue to back Trump, and NutMeg is offended that Joy is blaming her and Abby.  Every time Joy questions the lack of balls and integrity in the Repub party, NutMeg thinks she is talking about her and Abby.  She is very smart, you know, she knows all about socialism vs. democratic socialism, and infanticide.

It is disingenuous of NutMeg to say the reason the Repubs continue to back Trump is because the only alternative they are offered is socialism and infanticide.  They can oust him, or even just not follow like sheep whenever he makes a stupid and unethical decision or policy.  They don't have to become socialists and baby-killers.

I'm old now, but ever since I was out of high school a year or two (for all these decades)--my full "complete" formal education, people have said, "I can't BELIEVE you didn't go to college!"   I AM "highly educated" because I had a great basic education, brilliant relatives and friends, and we always stayed interested in many things.  We might consider Meghan's formal education "good," but her views and interests are too narrow for her to be considered "highly educated."  By anyone but the woman she sees in the mirror.

Fuck this bitch with a chainsaw.  Seriously.

Glad to know she is the one who decides how current events will be remembered.  Glad to know she is the one who decides how her opposing party will be remembered.  Glad to know she is a spoiled entitled privileged woman who gets to decide what all pregnant women should do.

If you mean Joy is doing her best to educate viewers with a well thought out articulate response to the anxiety inducing events  happening right now then yes she is.

I was yelling at the screen.  How DARE she try and change the Dem platform to one literally no one is talking about.   And she can step aside.  If she wants to help children she can put on her Dora the Explorer hat and find the one's that have been taken from their parents at the border and lost.  I had a lot of respect for Sunny not losing her mind when Me-ghain was speaking over her.  SOMEONE needs to tell that child to stfu when others are speaking and trying to instill some effin logic into the conversation.

So glad Sunny brought up the classic "I have black friends so I can't be racist" argument, which is what Meadow's did when he brought the black woman out (her name escapes me at the moment) to make a point.

What seemed to odd to me about the young woman was that she was introduced because "her father" came from Birmingham, Alabama.  Where did SHE come from...some place so White it dare not be mentioned?  That guy was pathetic...and his little emotional outburst to "prove' how non-racist he is didn't work with me.

No, Candace quit when the audience booed her off the stage, I believe.

Meghan is really just an all-around disgrace. For someone who likes to pretend she's not a Trump supporter out of one side of her mouth (to get spots on Colbert and other places), she pimps him more than anyone else that has ever been on this show--including people who weren't too cowardly to say they support him outright. I was happy Joy responded to her with the fact that Bernie Sanders is ONE candidate of many--how in the actual **** can the nonsense he says possibly represent "the whole" of the Democratic Party according to Miss Rich Bitch McCain?

Her saying she's a "highly educated woman" must be her attempt to discourage people from going to  "evil / liberal" college, lol, because who would want to come out the other side of an art class as stupid as she is.

Do you have more info about this?  I was glad she left.  Didn't like her.

[slippity slack]

It's driving me crazy how Meghan keeps referring to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as "AOC." They do it on Fox news as well. It's her Twitter handle, not her name. When Meghan calls her that it seems dismissive and disrepectful.

ClaraF, ClaraF, ClaraF, you are forgiven for this careless comment.  At the time you wrote, Meghan hadn't yet announced to the world that she's "highly educated."

I'm sure you'll examine your conscience and come up with a more favorable opinion.

It's going to be a loooong election/campaign process if, every time someone brings up the Democrats, or the Democratic party, Meghan gets her sneering face, huffs and puffs and screeches the words "infanticide" and "socialism".  Even with the measured, calm and intelligent counterpoints raised by her good friend, Sunny, Meghan still cannot get past her Pavlovian outbursts.

I can't remember the exact details of how it all went down, but at the time The View had a post-show called "After the View" uploaded online where the ladies would keep talking. Candace had a tendency of justifying every opinion she had with "as a Christian." She said it all the time. Finally, she said it during one of the After the View segments regarding some hateful opinion or other, and the audience booed and heckled her. She was in tears and walked offstage without coming back. I believe she was on "vacation" for a month or so after that. Then when she reappeared she announced she was leaving.

Her "official" reason was the flying back and forth between all her jobs (Hallmark, Fuller House) / family was too much for her, but she never really had the temperament or the brains to handle back-and-forth discussions. She was easily overwhelmed. And it's an honored tradition for the View hosts to give a fake reason when they leave, lol.

Thank you!  I wonder if it had to do with who she was voting for?  I know she got some grief for that after spouting her Christian views.  She doesn't have much between the ears if she thought viewers weren't going to give her grief about her views.  HA!

[SPinCA]

 I find Meghan’s black and white thinking a little frightening. I just can’t understand the mindset of a person who thinks the only options are Trump or a baby killing socialist. And when Sunny said to her “this isn’t your Republican Party” she disagreed and was about to counter the point and defend Trumpsters yet again but thankfully Joy cut to commercial. 

The “infanticide” comment is such a strawman and puh-lease I’ve lived in Europe, we have no socialists in government. Bernie and AOC would be moderates where I lived (Ireland, Sweden). 

And I can’t help but see the irony that Meghan wants small government until it comes to women’s bodies, then she wants the government very involved in women’s healthcare and reproductive decisions. And don’t get me started on how irritating it is to see a silver spoon heiress completely blanking Joy’s comments on healthcare and a living wage. I’m all for hearing the other sides ideas but she has none. Except sucks to be the 99% of us not born to wealth, fame and power. And someone should remind her that us taxpayers paid her father’s salary and his comprehensive healthcare, so much for limited government.

Meghan doesn't even REALLY believe this.  it's a republican talking point, has been for as long as I can remember.  The Democrats want to KILL BABIES!  They want everyone to get abortions!   There are a lot of voters who are one-issue voters, and that is the issue that can get people riled up.  Meghan spitting out "dis GUST ing!"   while Sunny was talking was just about the worst moment of her tenure on The View.   

She has to know she's lying.  but, again, her lies are the exact same lies that the president is tweeting.

Supposedly in MM own words, the louder you crow in contemporary America, the better you do.

For this show she still needs more talk-hosting training. She continues to present talking head sound bites like she's on cable news. I like lively discourse. Evidently, MM believes that she is a political legend…in her own mind only. She is far from understanding the issues in depth, being politically savvy, and able to respectfully discuss back and forth.

I would prefer to hear from an even tempered republican. I enjoy hearing facts and all intelligent sides of an issue.

I do not like the condescending know it all, tantrums, huffing, snarking and rudeness.

I really don't know why she is under the impression that she knows more than the others, and that it's up to her to explain everything to them.   Her disrespect and dismissal of their knowledge and life experience is maddening.  And I've never seen another host in the history of this show consistently declare loudly that a topic isn't interesting to her.  Or that it has no bearing on her life.  Not every topic is of interest to all of them, and not all of them can relate to everything that's discussed.  So shut up and listen!  Maybe you'll learn something.  Or at least give them (and the audience) the courtesy of at least pretending to listen rather than work so hard at trying to hijack this show.

They're supposed to be there to have a conversation and to share views, but she's not interested in anything other than the sound of her own voice.

This chick is really, really deficient when it comes to being self-aware.  She is so transparent it's actually laughable.

I've heard her referred to as AOC pretty much everywhere.  It kind of annoys me too, but it's not just a Meghan thing.

(She's generally disrespectful, though, so it does sound worse coming from her.)  🙂

She is jealous of AOC who at 28 became a congresswoman by taking on the establishment and winning.  Megan who according her has been in politics in the womb could not do what this young lady did.

For sure.  She's definitely jealous.  No way could she accomplish even a tiny percentage of what some of the people she bitterly criticizes have done.  And women like AOC really strike a nerve with her because they're the real deal, and Meghan most definitely is not.  She's all talk and accusations and bitterness while AOC attracts a huge amount of attention, speaks well, has a positive move-forward attitude, and is focused on getting things done.

People want to hear what AOC has to say, and nobody gives a crap about Meghan's inarticulate, ill-advised rantings.  Except Meghan.

[Marigny]

Two things...

First, I'm so glad Sunny brought up the "I have a black friend" defense. I also notice that Meghan sat there with her mouth shut. She's one of the biggest offenders when it comes to the "I have a (fill in the minority) friend" argument. 

Second, Meghan is definitely trying to revamp her image. She's trying to appear more buttoned up and less raging lunatic. She knows there is a possibility that she'll get the boot so she's basically auditioning for another job. 

[deirdra]

I suspect a lot of whitebread Americans call her AOC because they don't bother to learn how to pronounce Ocasio-Cortez.

Earlier this week she said that she likes when Hollywood becomes political, now that she's apparently happy with Abby's interview when she wasn't before. She also said that she doesn't surround herself with yes people and likes being told that she's wrong, but we know that she can't handle that.

[tinkerbell]

As usual, Meghan chooses to misunderstand a story and make it about herself. 

The issue about Tabitha King was NOT about "supporting her husband's career."  The couple made a large donation to an organization that Tabitha was passionate about.  The New England historic Genealogy society, put out a statement thanking "Stephen King and wife". Tbat is not right.

To compare it June Carter cash supporting her husband's  career is ludicrous.

Meghan didn't look happy about stopping the war in Yemen. If there's one thing that is consistent, at least until she says that it isn't, is her love of wars and intervention.

 The only good thing about Megan's Hillary question is the fact that it revealed that there is no love lost between Bernie and Hillary.  I could say more about the Bernie/Hillary animosity, but, it would be off-topic. 

Did you guys noticed how unhappy Megan looked when Bernie was touting his policies that are now mainstream and the audience was cheering and hollering with approval.. I was sure she was going to ask a gotcha question about socialism. but, Megan wimped out. 

I also loved Bernie's passion about climate change.

She'll never be able to understand it until HER HUSBAND suffers the same fate.   He suggests they make a large donation to something HE is passionate about it.  They attend the gala and he looks through every donation page of the program looking for HIS name.  He doesn't find it, but he does spot a similar donation from Meghan McCain and husband.   OOPS!

Maybe the intro segment on The View could be changed. All the hosts get introduced,  until it come to Meghan walking out, and she is introduced as "Ben Domenech's wife."
