Take out a solid liberal of great integrity with decades of experience in government and foreign policy and substitute a clueless plutocrat whose main, if not only, positive attributes are that he doesn't like Trump and he thinks the GOP has gone astray? Yeah, we'll get right on that.

Sorkin is a TV screenwriter, and the scenario might make an entertaining West Wing episode, but Jesus on a pogo stick, fuck me dead, and fuck the NYT even harder for publishing this.
