President Jed Bartlet is an absolutely BRILLIANT debater. While his Republican opponent on "The West Wing" spouts platitudinous boring talking points, the fast on his feet Bartlet can talk rings around him while cutting him down with his wit during their debate. GAME ON! Of course, it is easy for President Bartlet to win his debate to get re-elected as President of TV Land because ALL the lines for both him and his opponent are written by liberal writers with an agenda to promote liberalism to the viewers. However, in the real world things are quite different as we saw recently when Joe Biden was struggling with his words without the advantage of Aaron Sorkin writing all the dialogue for both him and President Trump. Here you can see that stark contrast between liberal fantasy and sad but very laughable REALITY.
PING!
Fair enough!
Never watched an episode of West Wing myself, but I understand the concept wholly without having done so.
I’ve never seen this show but the can we have it back line is grand.
Life is better when we have Republicans in the real White House, and Democrats in the fictional one.
He would often quote punishments in Leviticus as examples of how evil and stupid Christians are today. Of course He was a "good" (liberal) Christian.
Apparently he was too self-righteous to learn that Jesus brought a new covenant from God, and, Christians were never "under" the law of Moses to begin with.
I had a friend who watched that show, and just wished that we could have a Jed Bartlet as president. Everything in the show was fantasy, but people actually wanted to believe things worked like that.
