I want Meghan McCain to learn that a good analysts analyzes. Meghan you do not need to shout over a contrary opinion if your facts are right. Shouting over opposing views, using political talking points, and ignoring other's views makes you, as you fear, a weak analyst.
Meghan, even worse than being a poor analyst is becoming a puppet for the conservative talking points.
A political analyst using Dog Whistles is not analyzing, they are using propaganda, and lack objectivity and maturity.
The Cohen disclosures in Congress helped and hurt the GOP and the Dems, so was it, in balance, a big zero? I don't think so. It put on tape both sides and history will reflect who was guilty of misleading Americans.
Truth is the victim in American tribalism. Many Americans and GOP Trump "sheep" Congress people are f**king up a great situation. They are complicit in America's retreat from the world . . . Sad!

"Fact-checking the Michael Cohen hearing"
By Glenn Kessler and Salvador Rizzo February 28, 2019 at 3:00 AM
"“Remember how all this started. The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie law firm, who hired Glenn Simpson, who hired a foreigner, Christopher Steele, who put together the fake dossier that the FBI used to go get a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.”
— Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) [The Republican better get hs facts straight or he will be called a liar.]
Actually, it’s been well established more than a year ago — by a House committee led by Republicans — that the investigation into possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russian entities did not start with the disputed dossier.
A memo written by the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), declassified by President Trump, said that the FBI opened a counterintelligence operation in July 2016 because of allegations concerning another Trump adviser, George Papadopoulos."
Do your homework before accusing others of misdeeds, sir.
"“Earlier you said, ‘I spent last week looking through boxes to find documents’ that would support your accusations. Where are those boxes, good sir? Where are those boxes? Are they in your garage?”
— Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.)
Higgins, a former police officer, pressed Cohen in two separate exchanges about the boxes of documents that Cohen said he used to prepare his explosive testimony.
Cohen said they were in storage.
“And are these not boxes that should have been turned over to investigative authorities during the many criminal investigations you’ve been subject to?” Higgins continued.
Cohen said, “Sir, these are the boxes that were returned to me post the raid.”"
Listen to the answer after you are asked the questions, Mr Higgins. By the way, being an ex-cop does not give you any credibility. You have to earn respect and credibility, and your line of foolish questions made you look silly and dumb. You were not even listening to the answer!

Is there any way to bridge the divide in America? Even on "The View," we see and hear Ms. Meghan McCain shouting over a colleague that all Dems support infanticide, i.e., killing live babies.

Sunny was not yelling, Ms McCain did all the yelling.
"Things are not going well at The View without moderator Whoopi Goldberg. On Tuesday, a discussion about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and climate change devolved into a screaming match about the Republican-backed abortion bill, “infanticide,” and “doing away with the human race.”"
"Meghan McCain Blows Up at ‘The View’ Co-Host Sunny Hostin for Defending ‘Infanticide’"
‘So you think a baby born from a botched abortion should be put down like a dog or a cat?’
Matt Wilstein 02.26.19
Sunny Hostin WAS NOT DEFENDING INFANTICIED. Sunnny was explaining the legislation and the reason it was not needed, and the reason the Democrats voted the way they did, IN A CALM, COLLECTED VOICE! SUNNY HOSTIN WAS NOT DEFENDING INFANTICIDE!!!!!
"
When Hostin dared to “push back” on her co-host’s point, McCain lost it. “I thought you were pro-life like me,” McCain told her. “So you think a baby born from a botched abortion should be put down like a dog or a cat?”
Every time Hostin, who confirmed that she is personally pro-life, tried to explain her point, McCain shouted at her, “Disgusting!”
“Is she going to be able to tell her side?” Joy Behar, McCain’s frequent sparring partner, chimed in."
McCain lost all credibility with me, what little she had in my mind, when she did not allow Hostin to explain the legislation and why Democrats chose to vote against that particular legislation. McCain decided yelling a Dog Whistling a serious issue was the thing to do! That particular legislation the Dems voted down did nothing new, so it was not needed or useful!
"
“This is not a new law,” Hostin said as McCain could be heard sighing heavily in the background. “It's already required to provide medical care to infants born alive. This bill also required that all babies born alive be immediately transferred to a hospital which, my understanding is, it's not always safe for a newborn. And passing this bill would impose legal and criminal penalties on doctors who won't comply with that.”
Hostin continued to talk as McCain shouted repeatedly, “That doctor should be punished!”"

Democrats are not and do not wish to support infanticide in any way! That is a Dog Whistle comment, stupid, and immature at best. At worst it is right wing propaganda against the Dems.
"
Hostin said she needed to push back on McCain’s comments, arguing that botched abortions are rare.
“We don’t need a new law for this. This is why I think a lot of Democrats voted against it, because it’s already required to provide medical care to infants born alive,” Hostin said. “This bill also required that all babies born alive be immediately transferred to a hospital, which my understanding is it’s not always safe for a newborn.”"
It is going to be difficult to explain any position on abortion when the opposing view is shouting bull shit at you.
My Trump supporting friend is using Sean Hannity talking points to criticize Democrats.
How do I get thru to these people?
