Nominal Republican Meghan McCain is probably the best Republican one can hope for in a network morning chatfest aimed at liberal women. While she is, as was and is her family, virulently anti-Trump, her other views have not clashed so seriously with the Republican base. As she is leaving “The View” after four years and rejoining the sane world, McCain is not doing badly at all in taking on Democrats.

FNC: “The View” co-host Meghan McCain predicted Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris would lose to Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis if she ran to replace President Biden in 2024. During a discussion on Harris’ unpopularity in polls, McCain argued it was evident she “needed more media training” because of the tactical errors she had made since taking office, and that if she was up against DeSantis in the 2024 general election, he would ‘put her in the ground.’ ” McCain has also not minced words on the Cuomos.

McCain on Harris: “I think she stumbled when she was running for president. She dropped out before Iowa. She was a very early dropout. She wasn’t resonating with voters way before President Biden was elected,” McCain said in response to a Whoopi Goldberg question on Harris.

About Harris on the border?  “It was horrific, and now that we aren’t even allowed to send journalists in to film it and she’s in charge, it’s OK. It’s just a different kind of person in charge of what’s happening on the border,” McCain said. “She’s made a lot of tactical errors and you don’t have to just take it from me, because I’m obviously a biased actor given that I’m a Republican, but places like Politico and Axios reported how disappointed the White House was on her first foreign trip,” McCain said. “She did [an] interview where she was laughing about the border when she was asked, ‘Are you going to visit the border?’ And she said, ‘I also haven’t been to Europe,’ and laughed very uncomfortably. Her laugh has become a way for people to take hits at her because it’s uncomfortable to watch … and I always thought she needed more media training than she had…The problem for Democrats going into 2024 is if President Biden chooses not to run for re-election, she’s just not going to be a strong enough candidate to run for president. And if people don’t want to listen to me and think it’s all about race and gender, that’s fine,” she added. “Honestly, it’s everyone’s risk to take, but Ron DeSantis would put her in the ground. I mean, it would be [an] election for Republicans. Republicans would love nothing more than to run against Vice President Harris.” Not a bad analysis at all.
