Meghan McCain – the woman who, with tears streaming down her face, roared that the United States that her father loved was “always great” – has made a couple of not “great” comments just in the last twenty-four hours that have people infuriated. And unlike some people, Meghan can’t complain that she’s just had an “off day,” or that she’s being misunderstood. She is a political-media savant, she’s a product of both worlds, she knows that every single word of hers will be analyzed and picked apart, and she knows how to say what she’s trying to say.
She also knows how to send a message without having to say it directly. One of the messages that she’s sent today is that she is far more “anti-Democrat” than she is “Anti-Trump.”
We already reported on Meghan’s statement that she wasn’t necessarily voting for Biden, it all would depend upon whom Biden selected as a running mate, when McCain issued this:
Never Trump doesn’t mean Never Republican.

Oh, yes it does. Yes it does, Meg. Unless you’re talking about Mitt Romney, and you’re not, then it does. Mitt Romney is example “A,” since which party is attempting to rid itself of Mitt Romney right now, Meg?
Trump’s demand for “loyalty” above all else has made every “Republican” in Washington that isn’t named “Mitt,” a Trumper. Thus, the Republicans in Washington are Trumpers.
She got the same message from damned near everyone.
Show us some republicans who don’t support, follow, and enable the fake president, and we might think about it, for next election.

Meghan seems to fundamentally misunderstand that, at this point, they're one and the same.
They've moored themselves to him as a party over the last few years.
If he sinks, they go with him.

if trump hadn't insulted her father she'd be wearing the red hat, watch her on the View it pains her to speak against him

This is the feeling that one gets. THIS. That if Trump hadn’t made it personal, that had Trump honored John McCain, then Meghan would be fine with Trump. Her father loved Joe Biden and the country, her father saw what Trump represented and what he’d do to the country, and he saw it long before he died, Meghan just … no, Meghan does get it and, as we said, she’s far more “anti-Democrat” than she is “anti-Trump.”
sad thing is she has spoken about what a dear friend Biden was of her father, how he stayed with her dad as he died, what a pillar of strength he was for her family, she wept when Biden was on the View but she can't support him, she really is a phony

Wow.
she has really been nasty this past month, to the point Whoopi went to commercials to keep the peace, she was even fighting with guests

Whoa.

Yeah.
Best Best, Meg. We have you figured out awfully well at this point.
****
Peace, y’all
