One of the great things about TWW was the use of solid actors like Ray Wise in minor or one-time roles. I'm reminded too of Glenn Close and William Fichtner as Supreme Court nominees.
Mentioning Fichtner and Close as the Supremes triggers me in a good way. I’m on record saying I can’t pick a favorite anything from this show but that episode is fucking close
This was probably the most politcally astute non political political move from a politician ever. At no stage did the governor say he was endorsing Santos but it was assumed.
@@prospero4183we had great courageous policy moments from Kennedy, Carter, even Obama. But Republicans do not serve, they do not engage in civic leadership. Now they are barely above a rabble. Nothing to do with fiction, or TV. A small number of protofacists runs the Republican like Stalinists, for the right and corporates. The biggest killer of American children is guns. What a nation.
Coming back to this, and again the strength of minor characters on TWW. Ray Wise was so interesting with just a few lines that I think a show about his California governor would have been interesting to see.
When you look back on this season - all the key political moves came from Santos. Josh didnt have imput on any of them - in some cases was dead against them. The only key decision that Josh pushed for was choosing Leo as VP - and that almost blew up in his face. Santos got to the White House on his own.
@@CT_Taylor Leo dying a day before polling day could have swung election in Vinnicks favour. As it was his dead did not become known until later and did not make that much of a different in the final vote - so Josh DODGED A BULLET.
@@michaelmuldowney8 i havent seen season 7 since long long long (like 2016 or earlier) ago, so I forgot he died late in the campaign. But RIP john spencer :(
No, Santos did and then later Santos asks Arnold Vinick to become his secretary of state...which is quite possibly the ballsiest and wisest move Santos could ever make for his presidency.

One of my very favorite Santos-moments.Telling a governor from a battled state a simple truth, just by being smart.

And J.K Simmons in the nuclear episode as lead administrator of the Department of Atomic energy
Ray Wise is one of the guest appearances that always really stuck with me during the run of the show. He was perfect as a Governor of California.

Armin meuller staul as the prime minister of isael
Love that episode. Really wish they had gotten them on just a little more. But brilliant all the same.

Its easy when u don't have to run for anything, tv politics, the dream without reality

I miss this show so much.
Great appearance from Ray Wise.
Josh always looks like "What just happened!" I love that. He gets Santos to run then looks like he can barely hang on during the ride!
Santos was not Russel, who had to rely on his staff for everything. Santos could do things outside Josh's strategy.
@@miri669 Which what was won Santos the presidency.
As Josh said to Leo some months later, “He’s a man of his own”.
@@AndreAFirenze You got it backwards. Josh told Leo: 'He is his own man'.
Leo: and here I thought I found the last one.
@@Dirk-van-den-Berg Yes!
I forgot just how good this series was sometimes.

This is my favorite Santos scene.
Hope the country is watching this
Very nice...
Is that BOB?!!!

@@michaelmuldowney8 on an fictional TV show......
You are missing one important aspect. Josh admitted to Leo that Santos 'is his own man'. He wouldn't do it because Josh said so.
Savvy?

Didn't the governor of California become president?
No, Santos did and then later Santos asks Arnold Vinick to become his secretary of state...which is quite possibly the ballsiest and wisest move Santos could ever make for his presidency.
@@blastermasterguy Please play Red alert 2 and get back to me.
Yuri remembers
Once upon a time in 1980, yes.
It might happen again in our lifetimes.
@@blastermasterguy By doing so, he opened up Vinick's Senate seat for this guy to slot in.
