Co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested that the Democrats’ response was typical, noting that the opposing party generally “sits on their hands” throughout the speech.
But co-host Meghan McCain thought the real problem was deeper and noted that there were at least a few things mentioned during the address that should have brought all Americans together:
