I spoke too soon when I said Abby Huntsman seemed rational, for a conservative

[Siwsan]

She went full force Meghan McCain, today, shouting down Ana Navarro and pretty much everyone else, except for Meghan, on 'The View' panel. Listening to her, it seems her father is sharing ALL kinds of information, with her, about the comings and goings on in Moscow. Which seems, to me, to be problematic.

[PatSeg]

1. That is so disappointing

I had considered her rational as well. It feels like she is playing a role to further her career.

[Siwsan]

2. She's upset trump* isn't given credit for all of the GOOD stuff he's done. Huh??

That was pretty startling. It's the first time I've seen her go off on a co-host.

[PatSeg]

7. Yeah, that's bizarre

She was on MSNBC for a short time and she seemed sane. Sounds like she is auditioning for something. I wonder if The View actually encourages this sort of thing to boost ratings. McCain is more extreme these days as well.

[Siwsan]

10. I suspect that Meghan has some significant personality "issues"

She was bragging, today, that she can't 'fake' interest in some of the stories they cover in 'Hot Topics', so she will just let her boredom flag fly. I guess that explains why she pouts, so much, on the show. Someone needs to remind her that the name of the show isn't 'Meghan's View'.

I didn't watch the show back when that Survivor contestant was on (Elizabeth?). I wonder if she was as shrill and monopolizing of the conversations.

[PatSeg]

18. I've only watched the show

a handful of times when the guest was someone I was interested in. I do remember Elizabeth and as I recall, she got very animated and defensive. I wouldn't call her shrill so much as behaving like a fifteen year old.

That is weird about Meghan. She really is lucky to have a regular gig on TV. It wouldn't hurt her to be a bit more gracious.

Meanwhile, The View is starting to sound too much like a scripted reality TV show.

[Siwsan]

19. Meghan reads most of her tirades from note cards.

And, I think it was Chuck Schumer that she flat out called a liar.

She's always putting herself out there as some sort of political/policy whonk but when I checked her bio, she has a BA in Art History. I get the feeling that she's just regurgitation what her husband feeds her.

[PatSeg]

21. Oh, that could be

She sure has gotten weirder since she got married.

[kimbutgar]

3. She shows that she is a right wing hack like Meghan

Coming from Fox she learned how to be duplicitous and sound reasonable. But I am always suspious of her. Her Dad is also a member of the orange maggot administration. Do you expect anything less?

[Siwsan]

4. Her Dad never seemed particularly rabid. Didn't John Kerry consider him as his VP choice?

I could be wrong about that, but it popped into my mind.

And Abby would argue a point, strongly, but never get into shouting matches, ala Meghan. Today that changed.

[kimbutgar]

6. Yes and her a Daddy was also in the Obama administration

That said she drank the fox koolaide.

[TexasBushwhacker]

8. Yeah. I kind of like her dad

He's not a climate change denier, for one.

[Power 2 the People]

16. Hunstman used the "rational Republican" strategy that John Kasich is currently using.

He's as toxic as the rest of them. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. Oh, I wouldn't vote for him

But I wouldn't lose sleep at night like I do with Trump.

[delisen]

5. Another entitled Legacy media opinion person.

Almost makes me want to have a peoples revolution so these characters can be put to work picking corn in Iowa.

[handmade34]

9. or...

shoveling snow in Vermont...

[delisen]

20. Great Idea. They will be doing something useful and not distracting the rest of us who

will be rebuilding our country.

[Totally Tunsie]

24. or raking forests in California.

[mainstreetonce]

11. I can't stand her

I can take Meghan, but I can't stand Huntsman.
She has too much to say about things she is not well informed about. She tres to dominate every conversation . I think I can see
Whoopi get very annoyed with her.

[Siwsan]

12. I have no tolerance for Meghan

Her habit of shouting down people in that shrill voice, and then getting all stroppy with her 'poor victim me' facial expressions really annoy me. I now just hit the mute button when she starts on one of her screeching tirades. I suspect she was cut some slack, because of what she was going through with her Dad. I' went through the same thing with my Dad and was probably pretty intolerable, at times. Stress and grief can do that to you, but enough is enough.

And, yea, Abby has vastly overestimated her knowledge base. And I have noticed that Whoopi does, sometimes, let her know that she's gone on long enough without contributing anything of substance. At least that's my interpretation.

[Power 2 the People]

15. +1

[GWC58]

13. Sorry, but I don't view

The View. Just not my cup-a-Tea. 🤔😵

[Siwsan]

14. I have only been watching for about a year.

I don't even remember, now, why I started watching but I do love Whoopi and Joy Behar.

[GWC58]

22. I love Whoopi!

I’ve watched The View a few times, maybe twice. I’ve seen Joy interviewed before. I can say Whoopi, Joy & myself are fairly close politically.😃

[Siwsan]

23. Same with me.

Sunny Hostin is smart and has some great legal insight, at times. My favorite shows are the ones without Meghan. I think Abby is starting to feed off of her hostility.
