Dr Ben Carson was on and WOW did they have tough questions for him about backing Trump the skunk!
After, they had the CEO from Gawker on about the 140 million they have to pay Hulk Hogan for the sex tape.
The best was when Whoopi laced into Paula though....
It was a great show today! Did anyone watch?

I was going to post about the same thing! They really laid into Ben Carson but I think their questions were fair. I even felt that Whoopi was trying to control herself when talking to him I also thought they had fair question for the Gawker guy who doesn't seem to feel that there is anything wrong with posting someone's private video tape.
I don't agree with the way Whoopi treated Paula though. I thought it was rude and uncalled for. Whoopi feels that Trump is a coward for not coming on the show, Paula was trying to say that she could understand why he wouldn't come on because they make it clear they don't care for him. Paula was simply trying to express her opinion which unfortunately for her, did not agree with Whoopi. But I think Paula handled herself well and didn't stoop to Whoopi's level.
All in all, I thought it was a good show.

I thought it was a good show too...and Whoopi did get a bit loud with Paula, I guess she felt that Paula was defending Trump....Raven was covering her eyes while Whoopi was on her rant.
I didn't know that Trump had said those things about The View...in a way she was defending the show too.
And he is a racist s.o.b.....I wonder if he'll take the bait and come on the show...lol
Since I DVR it, I had a chance to rewind it and hear it again..then I felt sort of felt bad for Paula...wow!

I watched, but I think Ben Carson talks out of both sides of his mouth. When Paula asked him if Trump promised him a seat in the cabinet, and would he accept? Mr. Carson stated NO! But, I don't believe him, and I do think he would accept it if it was offered, but I may be wrong. I had read on Facebook, people thought the ladies on The View were rude to Mr. Carson. I re-watched that segment, and the only one that was rude to him was Whoopi, not Joy nor the other ladies. Whoopi does not know how to control her anger, and it showed. Whoopi was also rude to Paula, and I felt sorry for Paula. Paula is a journalist and knows what questions to ask, and how to conduct herself and without going off on someone. Paula is a very classy lady, where as Whoopi is not. Whoopi is a loud mouth bully and a racist, and she only thinks her view/opinion matters. The way she portrays herself on the show is disgraceful. I don't know why she hasn't been fired yet. When Friday is here. I'm so glad she is not on. I think the show is better when she's not on, and the ladies seem more relaxed and get a long better.

Kudos to Dr. Carson for coming on the show! He must have known what he was in for. His comment about what happens to 'nice people' was a bit childish but very telling. I do think he was asked some tough questions and answered them as best he could. Unfortunately, I don't think he gets it and just babbles most of the time.
I actually like Ben Carson but am very grateful he is no longer in the race.

I agree cossysmom.
Although I am not a big fan of Paula I think Whoopi was out of line. Paula's assessment of why Trump, or anyone else, will not come on the show was imo valid but she was intimidated by Whoopi and just let her take control of the conversation.
I am a huge fan of Whoopi but recognize that she can be intimidating. I also recognize that she will back off when confronted. Paula should have been more willing to stand her ground with Whoopi. JMO

The show has gotten better. I even like Sonny Hostin this go-round and Raven has gotten better. She is more rambunctious some days, however. Maybe her behavior depends on what she has for breakfast?
Joy is back and I think that makes a difference. She's great. Whoopi better........ I can finish most shows unless they do product pushing.
