"Remember when everyone thought she was nothing more than a famous politician’s kid?" says Helena Andrews-Dyer of McCain. "Over more than a decade, the scion of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has slowly but surely established herself as a force in her own right. Love or hate her, she is the conservative equivalent of an Instagram filter: Sometimes she makes Republicans look good, and sometimes, well, she doesn’t. Either way, Meghan McCain is always there, willing to give it a shot despite the hits she takes. As one of the few conservative voices on The View, McCain is reliably right-wing in a Manhattan studio that doesn’t always cheer her hot takes on immigration. And she has managed to avoid the Fox News track, where young-ish conservative voices often get stuck."
