The main character is a power hungry politician and his wife. On the show he's a conservative Dem- but his politics are secondary really to the political machinations. The few good guys on the show tend to be Dems, and liberal ones at that fwiw. But then we haven't really seen too many Republicans. It's more the inside-the-party battles. But no, I don't particularly get the "they're as bad as Repugs" vibe. Ymmv.

I admit it's not everyone's cup of tea.
