Why would any Republican go on this show at this point?


Bill has turned into Joy Behar and his liberal crowd is beyond annoying.

I was pretty annoyed at the way Lanhee Chen was treated for stating that, as a Republican, he would not vote for Trump but would also not vote for Hillary because he doesn't like the idea of being forced to vote for the latter just because he doesn't want Trump to win. It makes perfect sense and he even went so far as to say, as I have, that if he did not live in a state guaranteed to go to Hillary that he may have to think about it. There is nothing wrong with that position, especially if you don't live in 1 of the handful of swing states that determine the outcome. It also shows just how desperate the Democrats have become that they need to shame independent voters into voting for Hillary by telling them they're otherwise abettors of Trump. The problem isn't people voting 3rd party or being on the fence, especially when the GOP nominee is Trump, the problem is Hillary has been awful at endearing herself to people.

I think he gives Republicans a fair platform to make their pitch on issues during the panel.

Even when they don't have one on to balance things out I still think the show is decent enough.

The problem is when you get these super-annoying far left people who come on the show just to recite cliched, childish jokes that usually involve multiple f bombs. Dan Savage, Ron Reagan and Max Brooks on the past show are the examples of it.

I wish he had more centered people on both sides and then we could actually get some legitimate conversation.

He has republicans on all the time. That evil skank Man Coulter is a regular.
