I do not share AFG's political leanings, but I find her to be a good addition to the panel. After one year I like that she states her opinion and holds her ground without being obnoxious (unlike MM). Nor has she pouted or hung her head at the poor treatment by Sunny especially. She knows that she is the new girl and acts accordingly. I hope that she will slowly and judiciously assert her presence more in this second season. She owns her position. She deploys her toothy smile. She is intelligent and well-spoken, not full of malapropisms (like "desperacy" from EH. Sheesh!) She is amusing and lighthearted when appropriate. I very much regret that she was a willing part of the DJT administration. She will carry this sin all of her life. But I still want to extract the best of what this flawed person has to offer vs. kicking her to the curb.

I welcome a calm, well-informed exchange with others of different political views. I do not want everyone on the panel to be in lockstep. Thus I am glad that AFG has a place at the table. While I do not "go to their church," I would welcome even another Republican/conservative pleasant, well-spoken, well-informed voice at the table. Ana is a lovable conservative and very funny and intelligent, but she does not really explain the roots of conservative perspectives to my satisfaction. Perhaps a woman of accomplishment who is somewhat older -- a Sandra Day O'Connor type. Or a Republican businesswoman -- a Georgette Mossbacher type. Or perhaps an outspoken, intelligent, accomplished non-wealthy immigrant woman (a hijab-wearing Muslim) with conservative views.

On a shallow note, I find AFG's personal taste and the View's stylists to be on point. AFG is almost always well-dressed, well-coiffed, and well-maquillaged to suit her figure and coloring.  Her personal style is very attractive.

I was at IHeart to listen to the latest Behind the Table podcast, and I noticed that they removed Alyssa's episode.  The others are still there.  I checked Apple Podcasts and same thing--Alyssa's is gone.  Strange.

I like her. She isn't a thing like Elisabeth, or Meghan. Or like Jed, or Cameron  or Abby.

I think she is fun, and states her case even if I don't agree. Unlike Sunny always pouting and not giving an inch about her perfect life and "friends."
