I can understand this. I mean no one is supposed to be "in love" with Hannibal or obsess on him the way Trump seems to be doing.

It’s going to come out sometime that Trump resorts to cannibalism. The fact that I can say that and it sounds plausible says a lot about the image Trump puts out there.

I don't know about cannibalism, but I could easily see him killing someone who angered him or he felt had betrayed him.

'Ludicrous': Donors leave call with Kamala Harris frustrated and annoyed

The gathering of about 300 donors was meant to calm concerns but instead upset several who said it was badly organized, though they didn’t blame Harris herself.

“Please help us turn down the volume on this conversation publicly,” Melissa Morales, founder and president of Somos Votantes, said on the call, according to a transcript obtained by NBC News. “It’s time to stop the leaks and the rampant rumors.

Absolute idiocy on Sorkin’s part. Romney is too conservative (he literally supports the abolishing of Roe V. Wade). Now if you want to nominate a Republican to the ticket then you’d be better off with Schwarzenegger who’s more liberal than most of the GOP though of course that’s not an option since he’s constitutionally ineligible run due to him not being born in States, but if he was then he’d be the guy.

House of Cards is more believable than the West Wing ever was except for those that live in fantasy land. Sorkin's never showed he pays much attention to people who don't look like himself.
