Lefties loved The West Wing as it depicted a Dem Administration as they dreamed it should be. It was much better than the reality of the Clinton Admin. And TV critics absolutely drool over Aaron Sorkin, for whatever reason.

The same people who fall for Aaron Sorkin fall for ‘professional juries’ and ‘intelligence’ thugs running government better than elected officials.

I stopped watching television years before the West Wing came online, but from what I heard and saw of it, it was a form of Leftist masturbation.

It is putting into a fantasy television show what they themselves try to do every single day to the American public through a compliant and willing Media.

I detest Alan Sorkin and what he stands for. The only thing, and I mean the only thing I saw that he had any hand in was “A Few Good Men”, and even then, it was pretty clear what he was doing there.

Sorkin is a putrid brown stain on the underwear of this Republic.

Not sure how many of “The West Wing” I watched - maybe less than two. I watched the one after September 11th. It was horrible.

Too bad I can’t get the 5 minutes of my life back I spent reading that piece.

My parents would watch “The Left Wing” as I call it. They worked in Hollywood and it was virtually mandatory to watch the propaganda piece.

My parents succumbed to their frailties and in the course of doing so revealed to me the empty, arrogant, and patronizing lies of the left.

Aaron Sorkin is no hero to me. He is one of the treasonous voices that Cicero spoke of.

He gives the impression that he has improved in his thought process, but in reality he hasn't. He still believes it's a possibility, but it is falling far short of expectations. That's because reality gets in the way of fantasy, and he still doesn't understand that fact at all.

It's easy to create a world of personal nirvana, but that world doesn't serve everyone in the same manner. Just another Ivy League whiner who envisions the perfect world, for himself.

“The West Wing” was a fig leaf for the Clinton administration.

Who you gonna believe… fictional television or your lyin’ eyes?

They HAD to invent the West Wing to rehabilitate Clinton. And Madam Secretary to inoculate Hillary.

It’s hilarious if you juxtapose those shows against reality…

Yup, the “Worst Wing” should have been the title, since the left has consistently shown that they are incapable of rational thought. They are the enemy. Pure evil. Exterminate! Exterminate!

Sorkin’s scripts sound like an alien trying to sound human based on old 1940s movies but not understanding how people actually interact.

The youtube clip of the West West, wherre the president flailed a disrespectful religious woman, was all i needed to see.

that was the epitomy of leftist script writing.

as to mssr. sorkin, i call, and raise you my 126 i.q., and the hole card, mssr. william f. buckley, whom i watched and learned a few things, before i went to southeast asia for 3 years.

The precursors to the woke morons - the hippies - correctly identified the woke crowd as plastic people.

As lefty bad as West Wing was—if you watch it today they are heads and shoulders above the current administration.

—No LGBT and trans garbage
—No anti Russia and pro war propaganda
—No support of Big Tech censorship
—While tone was negative towards white people, no blatant anti white hatred
—No support of lowering standards to help minorities—they still believed that they could find qualified minorities to meet their quotas
—No open borders garbage or “migrants” talk
—No open support of criminals and crime

I also remember a hilarious episode where a group came in wanting to change the map of the globe so the Southern Hemisphere was “on top”.

It was a hilarious satire of leftist zealotry.

I hope this guy knew that the early seasons of The West Wing were written by Lawrence O'Donnell, yeah, that "batsh-- crazy" Lawrence O'Donnell.
