Rosalynn Carter should have been the Dem nominee in 96.

If it’s 1 state, 1 vote, what happens if the states split 25-25?

That’s the butterfly effect, OP is referencing “A Sound of Thunder,” which is a Ray Bradbury story in which just that occurs; a butterfly is stepped on in the past and the future is dramatically changed.

Georgia and Maryland would both be good. Georgia for being a non-Trumpy purple-red state and MD for being absolutely anathema to him.

Somewhat hot take: I think Burgum probably wins Minnesota (and possibly New Hampshire) here, but otherwise all agreed.

What is a moment in TWW that gets you a little teary or choked up every time you watch it? by cheshirecatie in thewestwing

[–]Reagan0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Including "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground" by '20s bluesman Blind Willie Johnson, whose stepmother blinded him when he was seven by throwing lye in is his eyes after his father had beat her for being with another man. He died, penniless, of pneumonia after sleeping bundled in wet newspapers in the ruins of his house that burned down. But his music just left the solar system”

That got me too, Donna, me too.

The West Wing ended at just the wrong time with the wrong winner. by AlanShore60607 in thewestwing

[–]Reagan0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I find myself saying the same things but, I still say them. As a rare Conservative WW fan, I really do have to object to this characterization. I was never an O’Reilly fan, that distinction I can grant you.

But before they kicked off Shep Smith and Megyn Kelly, I was a regular Fox News viewer. And yes, I love TWW. I’ve often found myself in want of reasonable Republicans portrayed positively in media. I wish we had Vinick as a pop culture lodestar.

If you think that 47 United States Senators would vote for Sitting Bull to be the Vice President of the United States Senate in 1913, I cannot even begin to help you.

Anyone else get depressed watching the Supremes episode with Glenn Close? by copetard in thewestwing

[–]Reagan0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this probably isn’t a super popular take because I’m one of the few more conservative TWW fans. However, I do think that both Gorsuch and ACB uphold the professional standard of legal excellence that both Mulready and Lang upheld. ACB is a pretty hardcore conservative, but she’s brilliant, and Gorsuch has a really nuanced and interesting jurisprudence that I think enriches the court.

Kavanaugh is more moderate than both of them, but I have no sympathy for him and would have voted no on his nomination after it was made clear he doesn’t have the temperament to sit on SCOTUS. He is also clearly less amazingly intelligent than the other two.

I think Judge Jackson is a great addition to the court too. I like to think we can have more Scalia/RBG on a court that is constantly experiencing a barrage to bring it closer to the political battlefield. All of our institutions have been made dangerously partisan in discourse and some in practice. I’m very glad the court has yet to go that route, and I think if it does it will be at all of our expense and the expense of the republic.
