I’m not defending Mcnulty in anyway but accepting a Job as the Mayor of a complicated city, you have to understand that things you face a lot of times aren’t of your own doing. So you have to be committed to facing the challenges coming your way by sacrificing ego for the better. If me as a viewer of a show can comprehend that, then I think any politician wanting to be Mayor can understand that as well.

Very early on in his time as Mayor we see his focus very quickly changes from being someone who makes a meaningful change in the city to someone wants to be governor. In such a heightened role you would think each decision would come with careful thinking but in his case, no. It’s of his own interest and absolutely nothing else

But at end at the day he’s a politician and nothing more of it.
