1. No Megan...

We don't need the people at Trumps rally.

Beto did so much better than I would have. lol.

[dalton99a]

2. A great reply.

3. Preach, Beto!

McCain looked like she was gobsmacked when Beto said that everyone engaged in the racist chants at Trump rallies are accountable for their actions.

And, he does a good job of tying his senate campaign experience in Texas to the task ahead of Democrats heading into 2020 -- winning over independents.

15. he's improving as a candidate all the time. better and better.

[Indygram]

19. He's actually the same as he's always been

The media have just not been very truthful in their reporting.

[peggysue2]

4. And that . . .

is what Beto O'Rourke needs to keep on doing. That's the lightening, the passion that attracted supporters in Texas and across the country. He needs to harness that quality--the articulate, on-fire response--and run with it on as many TV appearances possible. I know he's invested in the small group, intimate conversations but he needs to push himself into as many living rooms as possible.

Then, he'll have a shot and the media will be forced to take notice.

5. Megan McCain is so disgusting. WAY TO TO Beto !!

[Vdizzle]

8. Yes she is disgusting.

Just look at the condescending contemptuous look on her face while Beto is talking. She is repugnant.

[EveHammond13]

16. she encapsulates the perfect right-wing brat attitude

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. She does make a good point. Personally know some

They don't want to vote for trump but they will if we run an extreme left winger. Beto totally gets it and his "you are American first" is refreshing and works. Bravo Beto!

7. superb reply to that RW POS

[onetexan]

9. i cannot understand why this gal Megan is still defending the RW when this fascist Idiot have

derided and lambasted her father's legacy time and again. The RW are blinded by their hatred and resentment born out of bigotry. No we shouldn't be trying to change their minds as its a waste of time. We should appeal to those independents on the fence and Dems who don't vote to get out and vote blue.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Seems like she was saying.

Hey what about us in middle

[busterbrown]

13. Perhaps? All about the Money..

She probably makes a nice chunk of greenbacks playing the role the right wing desires from her.

[JI7]

14. she is married to a right winger whose father works for trump

[lunatica]

17. She gets paid to do what she does

Where else would she work? She’s stuck because Trump and his followers hate John McCain so she won’t get any job in Right wing organization. The only people who would hire her are her current bosses, who use her as a person who attacks the Left and as a foil to election attacks. It’s show biz.

[onetexan]

18. her family (mom's side) has great wealth so she's not short of cash. I think she does this job to

try to stay relevant. Yet most of the time she gets into arguments with the other women and guests, and shot down (and rightly so) by the other liberal women on the The View.

[LiberalLovinLug]

12. Meghan's whole purpose being there seems like trying to justify her hypocrisy

She's always pushing the mantra that Democrats NEED small r Republicans to win. They NEED to reject the squad, and embrace the past old school "moderates" (conservatives)

She's wrong first off. I think there's more Democrats and Independents and even a few small r's votes that will come out and vote D NOT because we clammed up into a conservative shell, but because we had some new ideas, new younger progressive reps, that we were far removed from the Republican's platform, not some Republican-lite proposals to woo back a few Trumpists. Although it is disturbing to see that Nancy and Chuck seem to be in Meghan's camp on that.

And why the fuck should we listen to her opinion on how Democrats should run? Who cares? This is someone who is so two faced. Just because her father was a target of Trump. But the party that accepts and applauds Trump is fine with her.

20. I hope he brings that same fire to the next debate.

He shut her down good.
