Elisabeth is the youngest on the show and that’s good. However, does she really have to demonstrate how upset she gets when talking about the Republican party. She becomes a different person, ie, her attitude and her personality change completely. Elisabeth sets a bad example for other Republican. There is no need to demonstrate such attitude. All the other guesses are conservative, older and GREAT; especially Whoopi. Perhaps one of them can teach her how to be for a party and not show the ruled/ugly side of her.
