They need their alternate reality. Just like West Wing was their advocacy for a democrat presidency this is their wish for what Hillary would have gone through.
For a people who always talk about being in the reality based community, they can’t help but live via fiction.
There are certain shows that you can predict they never get past the fifth episode before cancellation. This is one of those shows. Nothing to draw the 18-to-35 year old crowd. Guys generally won’t watch it. It’s aimed at women....thirty-five and over....who have a political interest. Pretty low audience thriller, if you ask me.
Now, if you wanted a good idea for a TV show....why not put up a trailer-park gal who is fed up with her local town mayor and city council, and launches a campaign...then wins.
