She's on that show because of her father. She has no special talent and she's obviously not particularly bright.

She needs to be more humble and more open to new ideas. I get the feeling that she isn't very happy. And why should she be? she's surrounded by asshole repukes all day.

I read about her at the WH Correspondent's Dinner a few years back. She received two tickets, so she could bring one guest. She showed up with two guests. When questioned about it, Princess Meagan said "Don't you know who the F**K I am?" Too bad the young man checking tickets did not say "Well no, but you ARE big enough to need two seats all by yourself, Lardass" She has milked her father's name her entire adult life. Time she grew up. I think she is unhappy with herself. Maybe she should go on a diet, slim down? Sorry she had a miscarriage. I had one years ago and know how that feels. Surprises me she did not use that as a publicity stunt when it happened. Before anyone accuses me of "fat shaming" Take a look at her. SHE is FAT. Too big for Faux, that's for sure.

Meghan. She is no chip off the old block, for sure

I never watch that show, but the few times I have, one was when Joe Biden comforted her about her Father’s illness. Joe also went to the ranch, spent time with John.

Her talent is nill. How many times has she threatened to leave the show?

I don’t get U. S. TV, but in the few clips I seen from posted links here, she seems to have an enormous chip on her shoulder, as if she knows full well that if her name were anything OTHER than McCain, she wouldn’t even be able to get a job as her station’s usher.

I also had no idea she was married. That almost makes me believe in miracles, but then I remind myself that America is a country where some people actually vote Republican of their own free will.

My theory is that she got married because her father was dying and she felt he would like her to be married. I think she comes into the show meetings with pages of conspiracy theories and fake news from the alt-right that her husband gives her and it all gets shot down and by the time filming begins she's defensive and pissed-off.

She has said that she's become more conservative since being on the show. She's incapable of being objective, everything's about her. I love reading YouTube comments because 90% of them are about how we all hate Meghan. Yet we still watch!

Today I was listening to The View and Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyer's shows and they were all tearing Trump apart for being a liar and racist. My (Japanese) husband was amazed, thought this was only on the internet. No, regular TV that Americans watch. Never happens in Japan. No political comedy. If you only listened to American comedy shows, you'd think everybody hated Trump.

They seem to take the dictionary about as seriously as they take the Constitution, which is to say, not at all. If Fox Noise decides that “sphere” means “cubical,” Republicans will assume that baseballs are now shaped like dice.n

and as such it's irrational, fear-based, and exclusionary. And because most Republicans are products of early indoctrination a break from their superstitions would stoke a river of cognitive dissonance they're too scared and stupid to traverse.

Has she endorsed William Weld?

Will be she on the campaign trail with him?

Is she fundraising for him?

She is such a bullshitting fraud. She doesn't like drumpf but when it comes right down to voting for policies and not people, she will pick the policies of drumpf and his party every time.

Was a poll for New Hampshire primary where drumpf was leading him 86% to 7%

In other words right now he is somewhere coming to grips with the fact that drumpf and the GOP are the exact same thing. I think he believed his party is not a hate filled, racist, cess pool of MAGAts and they only supported drumpf because they felt they had no other choice. Oh, how naive he was!!!! LOL

toxic orange dumpster fire. I still can't believe that many republicans are loyal to Trump. What is wrong with these people? They could have someone who would look out for their interests but not be so odious and destructive, but yet they choose to stand by him.

I think some people see him as a stealth Democrat due to his relatively liberal social policies.

McCain longs for a time that won’t ever return. Her GOP is dead. She doesn’t attribute the problem to an unabashedly fascist and racist GOP. Instead, she sits on the sidelines and blames the opposition party for the GOP’s demise. This make no sense, but that’s McCain.

up to and including November 2020 because RWer's who own corporate media will try and control the narrative.

That the Democrats . . . in disarray, while the foreign countries with the help of the Republican party do their best in stealing the election, across board, again.

As far as Republican values, it sucks.
