So Sally/Mellie are Hillary ("I'M THE NOMINEE" felt close to Hillary's seemingly inevitability in getting the nomination), Hollis is Trump and Vargas is Sanders (liberal, unlikely winner)

This series really was a gift. I can't wait for more.

I mean…you're smart enough to tell the difference between Clinton's institutional reach and influence than Jeb's so

KNOCK ON ALL THE WOOD

No, that's spending more money. This is America.

Alan Alda was the saving grace.
