If Winslow does go down, the power play would be something to watch

The balance between Senate relationships and admin relationships makes it extra interesting...Carter is the natural comeback option but he's got a mixed record. From what we've seen with that secret meeting Denis has a connection with Amaras which would be a pretty crazy situation trying to put him up but it'd probably put the party back on track for passing priorities and leg/exec coop better than they are even if now there's election process. But Am and Winslow seem to be pretty close in Senate, so a knife would have to be going in someone's back from somewhere

It's too bad Utt is still gone. Lane would be great to have.

I really want non English amnesia Spicy to get thrown back in just to make it even more wacko

Marli and Stev making it into the Senate would make the dynamics even more unlikely fun

Shifts in 18 will be fun, change some stuff, can't wait to reach them

Didn't mean to make it look like I was putting the blame on Denis

He can shoulder some part fairly for inflaming some tensions but for handling the job of running the party in the Senate Winslow's had some serious problems and they're getting bigger/more visible since she lost her crutch


I was so happy when I got Simon, Sanabels excellent BUT hes not on enough to play him. Not his fault at all. The Chief of staff needs to be very active to be effective, i thought i could help the admin through pitfalls but it turns out its just been crazy

He's been good, I think you've done a good job with him. He's been effective and good in some areas and has made mistakes/damaged things in others but the way he's done both has seemed like it's fitting with the way the character operates rather than just bad luck/error and its played off well RPwise

The offer made to him is a rather tantalizing one to Prejean, posed to him via note, though he first wants to see where Locklear leans.

I know he's had a bit of a rough stretch, but Denis really has been doing a pretty good job. It would be unfortunate if he did resign because of this.

This hurdle, in particular, is beyond the realm of his control, and frankly Mondale should've been a slam-dunk nomination (likely would have been, if it weren't for a fatal gaffe or two).

Not to mention, the complete absence of Winslow, or an official whip, makes this even further more complicated beyond his control.

Marli would be amazing in the Senate, populist tendencies.

I suppose the torture comment and the Congress having the power to call in the UN were the most controversial comments

Torture is due to her critiques of Shrub. The other is in defense of intervention of the UN in other countries and her intention to use to it to get involved in Russian and Chinese conflicts/regional issues. Unfortunately, it raised the risk of American tendencies, which Amaras capitalized on.

Yeah, I got where she was trying to go with that (hence why Prejean was actually contemplative of supporting her in spite of Amaras pleading to vote otherwise), but it just didn't quite come out that way for her.

As a Reagan/Thatcher fangirl, she really wants to bring that American strength back. But I guess its shifted back a bit to a focus on the homeland.

Finally getting to play his little tricks

Giving the red state Dems the longer leash he did earlier is gonna pay off now. He gets to pull them back onto the line without snapping it and the conservative pubs that he slanted away give them cover
