Antonio Sabato Jr is in WAAAYYYY over his head, on 'The View'

[Siwsan]

Still insisting that President Obama is a Muslim. He's a high school graduate, former male model and quasi-actor. If I was on that panel, I'd be peppering him with government and civics related questions, right about now.

Joy and Sonny are doing a great job, though.

The bar has really been lowered, for running for office.

[underpants]

1. And Scott Baio is accused of physical violence by a male co-star

on Charles in Charge.

Big day for those RNC Convention speakers.

[UTUSN]

2. Joy and Sunny are stalwarts every day, have tamped down McCAIN while being kind to her.

So is the SABATO dude unopposed or otherwise likely to win in his district? Yeah, he's a dim bulb, and this type blame being blacklisted on their wingnut views instead of on their dim-bulbness and low talent level - think: the wingnut BALDWIN brother, Bo DEREK, Victoria JACKSON, et al.

[FactyDude]

5. He will run in a primary...

But awash with external funding he will win.

It will be him vs Brownley. Julia is favored but he's a real threat and I'd call it a "Lean Democratic" seat today.

[UTUSN]

8. Thanks for the info and welcome aboard!1

[Siwsan]

11. He appeared to have developed significant cotton mouth, during the interview

When you really dig into his background, personal life and career - wow. Another case of talking the talk but not being willing to walk the walk. I have never seen him in any film or tv show but Joy did bring up his gay porn acting background. I have no idea if it was hard core or soft core but only time will tell if it could become an issue.

[FactyDude]

17. That's really nothing...

They weren't porn at all... normal B-Movies where he portrayed a gay guy.

Better to focus on his Trump-love rather than make up shit.

[Siwsan]

18. I'm only repeating what was brought up on the show and what he acknowledged

I've never seen him in anything. Didn't even realize he ever did anything other than the underwear ads.

From listening to him in his interview, I got the impression that he should stick with his "day job". He's another glaring example of why I believe there needs to be some qualifications added to any application for a legislative position - like having to be able to pass a civics/government exam and maybe toss in the citizenship exam. I'll give him that one - he took it before he became a citizen. It would just be interesting to see if he remembers anything he learned.

[Blue_Adept]

21. He was in the fun Earth 2 TV series back in the early 90's

Quite enjoyed the show, watching it now is a bit frustrating because of him.

[UTUSN]

23. Yip, they made the point (among his *many* contradictions) that PENCE would hate his Gay roles

He's got SO many contradictions in being a wingnut - hanging out with the haters of many of his facets. He just weaseled his way out by saying he hasn't discussed anything with PENCE. It all goes back to your O.P., that he's in over his head.

[FactyDude]

3. I live in the District...

And Julia Brownley is under a real threat.

She's a very quiet worker in D.C. and can be seen as having few legislative accomplishments.

And I've personally heard more than a few "ooohs and ahhhss" about Antonio in day to day life.

I plan on redoubling my efforts this year. We can't lose the shot at a majority by losing ANY seats.

24. wrong

[FactyDude]

26. Care to expand on that, lol?

[Tikki]

31. Totally wrong there, FD

You do remember why gallegly didn't run again and why strickland is far East and all.

Julia, will run an aggressive campaign but need not worry
about this guy.

Tikki

[Cha]

32. Thank you for working for Julia

Brownley!

I would like to know what "Wrong" means, too?

[Iggo]

4. What's his thing? He used to be a handsome young man?

[dewsgirl]

6. I used to like him on General Hospital a million years ago. Shame.

[Iggo]

7. Well, yeah, he was a swell looker.

It's just weird when I see people who are TotallyNotWhite join the party of people who are bigoted against people who are TotallyNotWhite.

[dewsgirl]

9. I know what you mean. It befuddles me, I will never understand.

[dewsgirl]

10. I know what you mean. It befuddles me, I will never understand.

[Cha]

33. I know, right? What's he

look like now?

[procon]

12. I'd vote for him as an underpants model, but politics? Not so much.

[Siwsan]

14. Joy had a good slogan for him

"Vote for Antonio because nobody wants to see Chuck Schumer in his underpants."

[kysrsoze]

13. Why is this nobody on TV?

[Siwsan]

15. He's a friend/acquaintance of Meghan McCain - maybe that's it

She mentioned that they know each other. He really came across as not up to the task, but when has that stopped a republican from voting for one of their candidates.

[erpowers]

28. What Did He Say?

What questions did they ask him? Did he provide any policy ideas?

[Siwsan]

29. trump is right. bla bla bla Things have to change. bla bla bla. Obama is a Muslim bla bla bla

Same old same old as most trumplodytes say. When he was challenged on anything, like the whole 'Obama is a Muslim thing, he'd mutter. I think he's just running to keep his name in the public eye, because his acting career doesn't seem to be doing that. They showed a clip from his Netflix show (can't remember the name) and the acting in the short clip was cringe worthy.

[Cha]

34. So the hell what if President Obama is

a Muslim.. but he's not. So this Sabato is lying his stupid ass off.. and I'm sure all the the View Women know it.. even Meghan.

[TeamPooka]

16. He says he's gonna run in my district here in Ventura County CA. He'll get his clock cleaned here.

We have Julia Bronley (D) here and the folks love her.
We also have two Democratic women representing us in the state capital in the House and Senate here too.
Along with our two women US senators.

Sabato is in for a world of hurt if he runs.

[FactyDude]

19. Julia won 60-40 in 2016 against a nobody.

This race will be closer, I have it "Lean Democratic" in my mind... don't underestimate the politically uneducated Suburban types who will vote for Sabato Jr.

[TeamPooka]

20. Blue Wave year - he might not even make the 2 person runoff in the general election

[FactyDude]

22. I can't be as confident as you...

He will have all the $$ in the world and has a guaranteed 40% base.

We MUST work hard and push for every seat. It would be a shame to upset Knight in 25 but lose 26 because Westlake Village Yoga-moms/dads line up to vote for Sabato Jr.

Pretend every seat is a toss up.

#IndivisibleConejo

[TeamPooka]

27. Let him bring that "Obama is a Muslim" shit to Westlake Village. They will run him out

of town.

[FactyDude]

30. For every progressive Immigrant Doctor in Lake Sherwood there's a 70 year old bigot in North Ranch.

Like I said... she won 60-40 vs a nobody.

This will be a tighter race.

Fight like hell and take nothing for granted.

[Cha]

36. I hope he does.. shows what

a brainwashed trumpbot he is.

[Tikki]

35. In which cities or towns in her District would you label

"the politically uneducated Suburban types"? Just curious and all...


Tikki

[FactyDude]

37. Note I said "politically" uneducated.

I'm guessing he will do better in the Conejo Valley, TO, WLK VLG, NP and Moorpark... but the West half of the county should be BRIGHT blue. Oxnard, Ojai and Ventura are pretty BLUE.

[Me.]

25. And Yet, One Still Be A Muslim & President

so what was his point
