Meghan McCain sat stone faced on the View after being reminded what tRump said about her dad...

[Phentex]

The show paid tribute to the Navy and each host mentioned their individual military family connections. Joy Behar pointed out John McCain's service and the fact that he was captured and yet chose to stay behind with his men. Joy stated "And that is the same John McCain that Donald Trump made fun of and said 'I prefer heroes who were not captured.' Imagine that. And he still won the election. That was amazing to me. That he could still win an election after he said that about your father. It's unbelievable, isn't it?"

Meghan McCain's response: a blank stare.

The other hosts are waiting. Paula Faris chimes in.

Then McCain mumbles a quiet, uncomfortable "I'm not disagreeing with you. Happy Birthday Navy..."

Then the other hosts chimed in with Happy Birthday.

I suspect McCain is in over her head with this show and time will tell.

1. She adds nothing

She's just a lucky a permanent club member

[displacedtexan]

9. Her success is the result of an accident of birth.

Why did she think she could hold her own on that panel?

[Phentex]

15. It's the Megyn Kelly effect...

fish out of water

[UCmeNdc]

25. She could add a lot if she would just become a Democratic party supporter. Her real world views are

more aligned with the democratic party. That is why she cannot argue well for the conservative cause.

[joeybee12]

27. Not really

She's more hawkish than her father and her blind hate of Democrats shows that she'll always be a worthless Repuke

[UCmeNdc]

28. I think she is afraid to admit she hates the GOP.

[Canoe52]

2. Shes on the show now? (really?) isnt she a total shill

For the gop, or more moderate?

[Phentex]

16. I did not realize it either...

until I saw an article about it. She keeps reminding the viewer she is supposed to be the conservative point of view on the panel. Gonna be a tough spot.

[karynnj]

3. I suspect that in reality she is not super partisan - just loyal to a dad she loves

In 2004, she confirmed she was for Kerry. Not because of his positions, but because she considered him a very nice person, who was very supportive Of McCain when they both were working on the POW/MIA issue. John McCain's book thanks John Kerry for being there in a tough time. In addition, she disliked Bush for the smearing done in the 2000 primary.

[brewens]

4. The one thing I was disgusted with McCain over was his supporting "W" in 2004.

There was even a ridiculous pic of him giving Bush a big hug. He had to really hate him I would think. But there he was, probably hoping to keep himself in good standing for his turn in 2008.

If we ever needed a better president it was 2004. If it was going to be him, that's when he needed to make a run. In the 2000 election, I felt that if it had to be a republican, maybe McCain would have been okay.

[Phentex]

24. She claims to be socially liberal

and has come out and condemned conservatives on certain issues. Seems like an odd choice for the show's devil's advocate.

[nolabear]

5. I've watched a bit this week. She seems miserable.

I don't know what she expected but it wasn't Joy Behar.

[cwydro]

7. I had no idea she was on The View.

When did that happen?

[obamanut2012]

8. Just a couple weeks ago

[nolabear]

10. Just this week. I give her three months.

Maybe she'll loosen up but man, she looks like she's never seen it.

[cwydro]

11. Shoot, I might have to tune in just to see that lol.

Can’t really imagine it.

[Phentex]

17. She is stiff as though she's waiting to perform...

like she practiced what she wants to say and waits for the moment to say it.

[bdtrppr6]

6. maybe once he's

dead, she'll go away. we can hope anyhow. hopefully they give her shit constantly. who is green lighting that hire? worse than fucking megan kelly. duh. was michele bachmann busy?

[Phentex]

18. Ha Ha!

They would eat Bachmann alive!

[RhodeIslandOne]

12. What can she say?

Meghan McCain, unlike a true shitheel like Ann Coulter or Sarah Suckabee Shrek can't defend the indefensible.

[Phentex]

19. Partly why I think she will not last

she can't refute some facts and would look like an idiot trying (like her predecessor).

[a kennedy]

13. That's so weird because she was quite the yapper when she was a couch talker on

the faux noise show "outnumbered". Four women and one guy talking head show.

[marlakay]

20. I heard the last republican on show

Got fired for asking Hillary too many tough questions and they wanted Hillary back on show.

If thats true maybe she is holding back afraid she will get fired.

Personally and I watch show daily I don’t think she is holding her position well at all. She seems scared which is unlike her.

[Phentex]

22. I think Jed was out of her league

she was another one who liked to think she had the facts but how many times did they come back and correct her after the break?

Also, I think it would be hard to be the Sean Spicer of the panel day in and day out. They have to keep acting like they are okay with the top dog when they really were not and couldn't defend him.

[marlakay]

32. I guess it would be like a progressive dem

At fox news. I couldn’t handle it day after day.

[Phentex]

23. she may get into the swing of it...

but it's gonna be hard. She's not a full blown conservative so I'm not sure how she is going to represent that.

[Ilsa]

14. I feel bad for her.

She was reminded of dotus' grotesque treatment of her father. It hurts. I think it would leave me speechless, too.

[Phentex]

21. Then she could have said it was horrible

or say he ought to be ashamed of that. Something.

[Ilsa]

29. It may have surprised her and left her speechless.

Sometimes when an attack is so personal, it messes with the mind. Her father is dying. He may have asked his family to help him depart with family dignity intact, no fighting with the putrid ignoramus occupying the WH..

I see no reason to attack her, not with this level of anticipatory grief she must be feeling.

[LuvLoogie]

30. This. These attacks on Meghan McCain are petty.

[Ilsa]

31. Thank you.

I'm not opining on her ability as a talk show host or guest host. But when it comes to family relationships, a little kindness from liberals is in order since her father is dying. IMO.

[kimbutgar]

26. Ive been watching the view for years and I cant stand Meghan McCain

I actually like Jeddiah better. And I can tell Sunny doesn’t like her . She always has a dour look on her face even Meggan talks. Meggan brings nothing to the table except her name. I don’t see her being there long.
