Poor Meghan McCain was having some trouble functioning on 'The View', today

First her sour expression when the show started, followed by her rude interaction with Senator Elect Warnock (which he handled brilliantly), and then she was discussing Kelly Loeffler's 'road' to being a senator, in the first place, and suddenly got flustered and asked to be taken off camera because her thought process was 'all over the place'. I got a phone call, after that, so I'm not sure how she finished up, but the start of the show was a train wreck, for her.

I'm wondering if she's been reading the comments about her on The View's Facebook page.

3. The vibe I get is the other members of the panel are just tired of her rude behavior

Maybe if the shows numbers start going down, again, they'll bring back Ana and show Meghan the door.

2. I get the feeling her right winger husband feeds her talking points on air

The only way she sounds natural is talking about her father. Yesterday she was so rude to Joy I was furious. I watched it with my husband and he said he doesn’t want to watch it anymore if she was on it. It was so much better when she was gone.

I might hop over to twitter and Facebook and pile on.

5. She's definitely gotten much worse since she married him.

When I saw the sour expression on her face, at the opening of the show, I knew it was going to be 'interesting'. Everyone else was ELATED, but she sat there looking like she'd just smelled something foul.

13. "worse since" - How to tell?!1--But takes a specific type to link up with a daddy's girl

The daddy's girls make it clear that *NO* dude can ever live up to their daddy - no boyfriend, spouse, or even son. One I knew had an exception for one of her brothers (not the other brother), like soulmates.

So Teh Mc's federalist spouse must either acknowledge the godlike supremacy of tthe father-in-law for the long term or eventually chafe on his way out the door, after having heard the daddy's girl yell "Daddy!1" at certain moments.

14. Basically, meaner. Far more argumentative. And far too quick to self-victimize

She seems to look for things by which to be offended. And if she doesn't find something, she'll make due with being offended by something relatively innocuous.

6. Is someone's contract up for renewal?

Gotta say - that program seems way past it’s expiry date.

7. It was fun to watch when Meghan was on maternity leave. Not so much, now that she's back

She just seems to believe she's the anointed spokesperson for conservatives and woe be to anyone who questions or disagrees with anything she says. Well, if she shuts up long enough for someone to get a word in, edgewise.

11. Meghan is like a verbal locomotive, out of control.

She even keeps babbling as they are going to a commercial. Whoopie used to kind of try to gentle hand her back under control. No longer. She just shuts it down.

I'm trying to remember who it was she called a liar - might have been Chuck Schumer. IMHO, she should have been canned, after that.

10. I think they should have a group "mute vote" button...

Based on the clips I've seen of her barreling over Joy's time the last few days, maybe they should give the other hosts a mute button. If there's a consensus to mute (maybe majority, maybe unanimous except for the potential mute-ee) then their mike gets cut.

She can talk, just not one someone else's time.
