Barbara Walters & The View Wants A Political Debate
November 1, 2011

They Don't Want A Debate...They Want Entertainment

Heaven help us.  Four and half raging limousine liberals from New York staging a presidential debate?  This from Huffington Post, the source of all liberal truth!

NEW YORK — During the 2008 presidential race, both then-Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain stopped by to chat with the ladies of “The View,” an indication that political candidates see value in reaching the daytime talk show audience.

But this election cycle, producers for the ABC show are wading even deeper into political waters with hopes of hosting a daytime presidential debate. A spokesman for “The View” confirmed that requests have been sent to Republican campaigns but declined to speak further about any interest so far. The debate would take place during the show’s 11 a.m. EST time slot.

While “The View” has had luck booking political figures in the past, the producers may run into trouble getting Republican candidates to sign on for a debate given the number of recent primetime contests and plans for another seven debates before the end of the year. Next week, both CNBC and CBS News are hosting debates.

With news networks clamoring for debates themselves, it will be a surprise if GOP presidential candidates even CONSIDER  wasting time with a stop at The View.

    It wouldn’t matter.  They all speak at once and no one would be heard.  These women have never heard of, “the art of conversation”.  I try to watch their show and cannot stand their lack of manners and consideration for each other and their guests!  They are only concerned about listening to themselves and being heard, rather than  interviewing and exchanging idea.  Perfect example, Mr. Cain who is a hopeful for the republican nomination.  Their interview of him was terrible.

    Their interviews are never about the guest….they’re always about THEM! Thanks Claudia…TKC

    Not a chance. Joy Behar is so liberal and opinionated, I would be screaming at the TV if she was moderating a debate. I will not watch “The View” just because of her.
