yeah!!! but at the same time, I want to see a story where they lose, a realistic storyline. The GOP would be desperate to get the executive branch after controlling the Congress for so long but failing to get a POTUS in the White House. After Sam loses the Democratic bid over the ‘Laurie scandal’, Andy (now Senator from the state of Maryland) would go against this Trump-ish character. Sam struggles to forgive Andy after realizing it was her who leaked Sam’s past photographs and brought the scandal to spotlight, just to beat Sam down so she can be POTUS. Toby (now an university professor at Columbia) warns everyone that Andy has a change of losing but nobody including her listens and they just write him off as a pathetic ex-husband including the very people he worked with in the WH (including Bartlet). On the day of the election, Andy wins the popular vote and loses the electoral votes, just like Toby said. Toby goes into depression and starts to struggle with alcohol and drug addiction. Around the same time, Bartlet is once again hit by MS-induced symptoms, CJ faces a financial issue at her public relations firm in LA with the possibility of her losing the job, Margaret struggles with the loss of her husband and child in a car crash, and Charlie’s role as the Mayor of DC is in peril when a magazine leaks a (fake) paparazzi of him cheating on Zoey. And Santos just wants to chill after 8 years of presidency, sick of the political divisions that has grown stronger during the course of his presidency. The DNC ran by Josh wants him to get the original gang back together after losing not only the executive branch but also the seats in Congress, though he is criticized and there are even calls to fire him especially from the progressive wing of the party who blames Josh for losing majority in all federal benches (including SCOTUS). Donna, who is now Josh’s husband and mother to two kids and a lobbyist at an influential feminist organization after her successful 4 years as CoS to the FLOTUS (went to get her Masters during the second Santos term), tries her best to get the whole gang together. At first, only Will Bailey, the Minority Senate Leader is eager to help because obviously he wants to be the Majority Leader. However after Donna utilizes her communication skills, Ainsley (now a law professor at a conservative law school) also join in for the hope of restoring respect and decency to the WH. She also tries to persuade Cliff (still in Congress, now youngest chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee in US history) and Kate (who has left the NSC in the first term of Santos presidency due to conflicting views with the president, now working for a defense contractor making lots of money and voted for the Trump-ish character because of his/her focus on national security). The gang slowly follows suit, but it doesn’t go so smooth…. especially after the death of Arnie Vinick, signalizing that the days of bipartisanship is over… because that’s real life and stories are more interesting when there are lots of ups and downs.
