    These guys get their entire ideology from West Wing. Isn’t that show’s whole schtick the back room dealings and games of politics?

    No, that show is exactly the opposite of back room dealing and games. It's apologia for compromise and it always portrays Republicans as principled opposition. It's the "but also 50 republicans" line of thinking.

        https://westwingthing.libsyn.com/ Dave Anthony's other podcast which usually devolves into angry socialist screaming about the West Wing. Still haven't watched an episode of West Wing, never will.
