Meghan McCain To Lawrence O’Donnell: GOP Has Entered ‘The End Of The Date With Herman Cain’

video
» 101 comments

As the Herman Cain campaign seems to spiral increasingly out of control, many in the press are now wondering how this impacts the Republican Party as a whole and who stands to gain from Cain’s possible collapse. On The Last Word tonight, Lawrence O’Donnell asked Meghan McCain to assess the status of the Cain campaign as it currently stands, and she has some bad news for him: the speed date is over, and the Republican Party is walking out of the door.

RELATED: Meghan McCain Unfollowed Rep. Weiner On Twitter Because Her Mom Was ‘Uncomfortable’ About It

McCain was on the program to give her take on the entire primary process, having been intimately acquainted with a Republican campaign in the past, and suggested that the campaigns as we have seen them were something like “speed dating,” which she called “unfortunate for the election process, bad for politics, and bad for the Republican Party.” Despite the dismay, McCain saw some use to the metaphor– when asked by O’Donnell where along the speed date the Party was with Cain, she called it “the end,” walking out the door, on to the next.

McCain also took the opportunity to call O’Donnell out for a prediction he made on the program the last time that she was there: that Tim Pawlenty would be the Republican nominee. “Yeah, because I know the Republican mind,” O’Donnell joked, though later acknowledging that he was wrong and that his mistake was due to “presuming the Republican Party was rational.” Ultimately, McCain concluded that the game was Mitt Romney‘s to lose, which O’Donnell agreed to.

    No one wants to date Meghan. That’s why she only gets gigs on MSNBC.

    Oh Meghan the end of the speed date with Herman Cain?

    Another Airhead Blonde thinking she has some inside intelligence on Politics – Pathetic!  If Mr Cain doesn’t get the GOP nomination, then Mr Cain should run as an Independent and he will win!  I like all the Conservatives, but Mr Cain is the best of all of them.  The idiotic sex scandal is BS and all of America knows it.  Mr Cain is the one to beat Obama, not Romney.  The Left are peeing their panties because they are terrified of Mr Cain.  I think it is a plus that he is not an Washington Insider.  And what did Obambi acomplish before he won in 2008 – Nothing!  Yes, he as a Senator who voted Present, which showed how worthless he is.  I know myself and millions of America will be Rainsing Cain for Herman Cain in 2012!

    Say what you want but she’s right.Cain’s days as the phantom candidate,the illusionary dark horse,are ending.It’s all Romney now like it or not,and I’m glad.Now we can get on with a real campaign of real issues between real candidates with different visions for the country.

    And we can finally stop wading through the ocean of so-called flawed possible republican candidates and focus of the only flawed person that matters,Barrack Obama.Now his flaws,his flip flops,his errors can be dragged through the proverbial mud as much as republican’s have been.

    As for Meghan,it’s comment threads like this one that illustrate how people think they can hide behind the computer screen and say really shitty things about others,and because they are hiding like cowards,get away with it.Virtually all of these comments would never be said in a real conversation looking eye to eye,because the same people who type out hurtful hateful spew aren’t courageous enough to do it anywhere else.The internet is a haven for cowards.

    Meghan McCain is one of the only voices of political youth around who isn’t afraid to say what she thinks or feels,defy her deeply right father and do it on opposition media.As for her weight,people who live in glass house,as they say.

    I’m betting there are a lot of heavy people even in this thread but regardless,who here is without flaw?Who here is qualified to judge?Certainly it isn’t the ones doing the judging,for their own views betray their flaws.

    Imploded? You wish. Herman Cain is real, authentic and accomplished. And unlike Obama, he doesn’t have some crazy Marxist white-hating preaching in his background (then again, that didn’t stop Obama from getting elected). 

    This sexual harassment is a BS allegation, real victims don’t take settlements, real victims fight and the offenders get jail time or they win big payouts. The fact that Cain’s “victims” settled shows who they really are. 

    Either way, it’s obvious that the liberal media wants Romney and like Rush Limbaugh said, we must not let them choose our candidate because in the end, the liberal media love affair with Romney will end once Romney gets nominated, then Romney is going to get attacked and vilified. YOu’ll see, they did it to McCain, they’ll do it to Romney. As for Meghan, why can’t the GOP just expel her from the party? Seriously! I don’t expect Republicans to agree with 100% of the platform, but this woman is not a Republican!

    She gets gigs on MSNBC because she is the 2011 version of Ron Reagan. A do nothing loser who accomplished nothing in life and will ride her highly accomplished fathers coat tails as far as they can take her. Her an Ron should get a therapist together and resolve their daddy issues. Can anyone name me the great accomplishments of Meghan & Ron that gives them the gravitas to be talking technical policy and politics on a “news” program? At least Tingles was a speech writer… even if it was for Carter and he wrote the “malaise” speech…. at least that’s something.

    I knew that Mitt was going to be the eventual nominee. I was hoping that a candidate like Palin could break through as I sincerely thought she was running. That’s why I held off giving money until she would announce for the Presidency.

    I have no shame in supporting and in still supporting Palin. She’s the only one that would’ve done anything about the country. The rest of the candidates whether Democratic or Republican are horrible.

    I’m not worried about me. I’m in a fortunate family situation. I worry about the rest of society and what will happen to them. I’m sorry you don’t have the same worry.

    If you set Meghan’s looks aside (which is kinda hard when she decides to flash people), but when you do, she’s a horrible writer.

    Which is why I typed what I did above. She sounds like a Barbie when she types. And I’m sorry, but I attended an LSAT prep course with a girl that looked like a Barbie doll (thin, super-cute, chatty, so on and so forth – ended up being really nice) and she puts Meghan to shame. She just started going to a good law school. Either way, Meghan attended Columbia School of Journalism but she makes it sound like she went to a local community college.

    Her writing is just atrocious. Plus, the topics of her articles are just the funniest and weirdest things ever. It’s rare that conservative blogs will link to her because people will just comment that she got everything handed to her and so on. That’s why she’s rarely linked at HotAir, a credible conservative blog.

    Mitt was going to be the only eventual nominee. I was hoping that someone like Palin would be able to throw a wrench into the system because the current crop of candidates whether they be Democratic or Republican are horrible. I’m sorry if you like to live in some fantasyland where Obama is some awesome leader. He’s not. Neither are the GOP candidates.

    I am not sorry that I supported Palin. I gave no money to her as I was waiting for her to announce her Presidency (which I fully knew that she was engaged in). I will continue to support her. It will be such a bummer to you when Palin goes down in history books as a larger force for change than Obama won’t it? Oh well. :)

    If you just Meghan on purely her writing skills, it’s an epic fail. She writes like a barbie and it’s just bad.

    So now, conservatives don’t dislike her only because we think she needs to visit a treadmill, but because the quality of what she actually writes about…is pretty slim. She’d gain more traction as a Jenny Craig model right now.
