      President Bartlet's oratory was really Martin Sheen's (and Aaron Sorkin's) oratory 🙂
      Apparently, the way Jed Bartlet flung his coat around himself was because of a shoulder injury Martin Sheen suffered in his youth...

BTW, notice we didn't have any of those things under Trump?

    I love The West Wing, I rewatch it every election cycle as a tradition. In some ways it’s a little outdated and pretentious (it’s also borderline fantasy these days) but it makes me nostalgic for a time when politics was more about standing up for beliefs and less about calling people out for owning cats! When being intellectual was lauded and not a liberal agenda. For a time when a President stands…nobody sits.
