'The View' guest host calls on Dems to stop obsessing over Trump, promote better future instead

"The View" guest host Abby Huntsman argued on Friday that Democrats should focus on promoting the future they actually want to offer the American people instead of obsessing over President Donald Trump.

The co-hosts of "The View" were discussing how multiple potential Democratic presidential candidates have been simultaneously opening up in interviews about their past traumas, in what appears to be a bid to appear relatable.

Huntsman argued in response that people should stop obsessing with Trump.

"I was just going to say, with Democrats, they have a huge opportunity here.

If you look at polling, no one is a clear front-runner.

This is sort of a moment in time of like, you've lost to Trump twice.

People are really looking for someone who's going to rise up, who's going to be that inspirational leader," she said.

Hunstman continued, "Some people say, ‘Let's attack Trump even more.’ I think the opposite.

I would love nothing more than to not hear that name again and to move on to the future of this country."

She went on to criticize Democrats who are suggesting, "‘Let's go after the family, let's go after the fraud,’" arguing instead, "It's like, we've been there.

Who goes in the sewer with Trump and comes out looking better?

That's not the way to go."
"Everything he touches dies," Behar joked.

"There's a book with that title.

Melania wrote it," she quipped.
