The Newsroom - Will McAvoy - New Kind of Republican

[romantico]

If we had more Republicans like Will McAvoy just imagine what we could get done. If more of the GOP were like Jeff Daniels here I would have more Conservatives as friends.

He nails it here. Could not have said it better myself.

1. It is sad that fiction is more accurate than real news.

2. It's not tv, but it is HBO, I love ' The News ' why ?

Fantasy .

3. It is a ridiculous plot conceit. There aren't any of those republicans left.

4. I get what the show is trying to do by saying he's a Republican

but frankly I don't buy that someone that intelligent would still claim to be a Republican. He'd be at least an Independent in real life.

5. Another good fictional Republican was Arnold Vinick.

There this great scene in the West Wing where Vinick the secular Republican is talking to the religious Catholic Democrat Bartlett.


Though I would have voted for Santos if the election was real.
