I have occasionally watched this show and sometimes found the discussions interesting. I noticed the other day a news brief that said McLaughlin on Friday missed appearing on the program for the first time in 34 years.
Sorry for the family âŚ
Not sorry for a GOP vote lost â
The only demographic they have just isnât keeping up â
With Buckley gone and now this, are there any sane members left in the GOP. RIP, as your show was indeed interesting and at least sticked to the facts.
I am NOT opposed to the fiscal conservative right, just all the wingnuts that have stolen a legit ideology. I may not have agreed, but you argued from reason. How refreshing.
I wonât need to keep the volume down on my TV now when PBS is on.
Buh-byeâŚ
Wow. I just saw recently that McLaughlin Group was still on the air. Long before tweets or even email, it was required viewing for my friends during our college years. Well, that and General Hospital.
I didnât even know anyone took it seriously. We didnât have the Daily Show so that had to do for us.
Quintessential GOPer: Defended Nixon to the hilt. Married shortly after leaving the priesthood. Divorced, Twice. Promoted âFamily Valuesâ.
Iâll definitely miss him. Not my political persuasion, but Iâve enjoyed his show for 20 maybe closer to 25 years. Favorite thing was his sign-off around Thanksgiving (which I used to look forward to many years). Instead of âBye Bye!â, he would just as loudly proclaim âGobble, Gobble!â. RIP.
