Didn’t Elaine rise to the Presidency in VEEP?
Took but a few episodes of that show to ‘remove’ it from my ‘list’.
Aaron Sorkin's writing in
The West Wing from a technical point of view was superb but from a historical point of view it was dishonest as he often turned reality figuratively on its head to reverse positions held by the Clinton administration or to reverse reality itself. From a technical point of view, the acting was equally superb, however delivered on behalf of of an unjust goal.
None of the historical dishonesty on The West Wing compares, however, to the bizarro world of Madam Secretary which was originally conceived as a way to get Hillary elected. Fortunately for America and unfortunately for any semblance of an interesting storyline, Hillary has retreated into her private hell and the show seems to jump the shark every week.
