In addition to other comments here, she is also the moral centre of the show. A political judgement call by one is often questioned by C.J. the decision maker is either convinced by the moral call or goes with their political one. Doesn't make C.J any less right but at the end of the day the presidency is political, even when they'd rather it wasn't.
"Unnamed sources" doesn't mean "unknown" sources. Typically there have to be 3 sources repeating the same thing before the reporter gives it any credence.
Evidently, a person can stage a coup and not just get away with it, but remain the head of a major political party and run for president again. That is in this country. What qualifies a country as third world or banana republic again?
@@staleydu1the worst part is you actually you are being clever. The only thing you have exposed is how much of a ignoramus you are. A political party is free to choose a presidential candidate how ever they want. Maybe read the constitution again. At least if you have read it before.
"Do we want to set a precedent that anyone can stage a coup and walk away if it doesn't work out?" Don't you just love how people are so much smarter in fiction than real life?
@@oFinalSolution "Half of America thinks..." .Wrong. A very tiny minority of Americans *claim* to think he's innocent because they refused to look at the evidence and instead CHOOSE to listen only to people who tell them what they want to hear. ("La-la-la-I-can't-hear-you" in response to negative input is disqualifying for anyone who wants to have an opinion.) A large minority of Americans -- still a minority -- admit he is guilty but don't care because they want power more than democracy and they stupidly think the leopard won't eat THEIR face. The rest of us -- the vast majority -- have eyes and know exactly what happened, what he did do, and what he refused to do despite the clear duties he accepted when he took that Oath.
@@oFinalSolution Not half. Hasn't been half in a long time. Even if we just count actual voters its about 35-40%. Strategically located. Plus some extra who know hes not innocent but also dont care.
@@Saffetree I laugh at how pathetic your life must be that this is what you have been lead to believe. Don't worry, you wont be able to rig another election (well, other than the primary the DNC just rigged again) and the world will get the evidence to the crimes the left committed around the 2020 election.

I love me some Leo, but Nancy McNally is one of the very few people in the building he should come correct to. But then again, in the Bartlett White House everything runs through Leo, so I guess this is expected.
1:57 CJ deserved to get told-off by Leo. When Josh had his Secret Inflation Plan screw-up, everyone rightly jumped down his throat. But whenever CJ screws up, she always get mad at other people. She needs to get over herself.
She is also dealing with being a woman in a man's job, where she's given less respect in their actions and their words. Whenever she screws up people stop listening to her for a long time, leading them to disregard her when she offers opposing views, where eventually they ultimately make wrong decisions. On top of this, she is never given the credit when she was right all along and they never make it known they should have listened to her. Leo finally gets it when he says she should be chief of staff.

"Manifest Destiny?" "Bet your ass."
I love Margaret.
Seriously was going to post the exact same thing!
"You don't get any cider" took me by surprise. Don't cross Abby.
Nancy should be quite comfortable briefing the press, she was the Press Secretary for Andrew Shepard
her objection was usurping CJs position.
@@googoo-gjoob whoosh
"Last question."
Yes but she changed her name from Robin ‘Too Tall’ McCall to Nancy during the transition. 😉
I think the Lonely Widower comment still follows her around 😂
I always loved the Bartlet Homestead.
Good thing Margaret wasn't chief of staff. :)
I mean, she could sign the president's name!
And invade countries and turn it into casinos! 😂😂😂
Bet your ass!
Way to shoot the messenger, Abbie, she was trying to help y'all out. Damn.
How was she doing anything other than trying to protect the President's image?
@@varunhebli It's her job and in the interest of the First Lady who just happens to be married to the President who's image gets protected.
Pro tip. Never make Rizzo mad.

This show includes a lot of instances where C.J. disagrees with Leo. C.J. is right every single time
Leo was right to snap at CJ here. She has a pattern of getting mad at other people for her screw-ups, all the way back to season 1.

2:50 Well, that sounds familiar
Margareth can! Which Leo found out recently...
I agree with Abby about unnamed sources!
Can I quote you on that? Or should I go with unnamed sources within the internet? ;)
But the unnamed sources are correct? The president and first lady weren't the best of friends at that moment
"Unnamed sources" doesn't mean "unknown" sources. Typically there have to be 3 sources repeating the same thing before the reporter gives it any credence.
Nice that you enjoyed her calling out the fake news at CNN & MSNBC
I forgot this was filmed in Middleburg VA
Doc McNally: the right stuff.

You mean like what the DNC just did by shoving Biden aside and installing Kamala?
Or force the elected nominee out and replace him with someone who never won a delegate because people voted for her.
@@staleydu1Biden stepping down was the act of a statesman. Which is why tRump supporters will never understand it.

Love me some Margaret!
According to the RL Supreme Court, No.
I need a drink. And I dont drink.
John Spencer was an incredible actor and Leo a fantastic character but my word Leo could be a bit of a d*** sometimes!
Well, yes, after the SCOTUS decision last week, pretty much.
You should be happy, it means Biden nor Obama will go to jail for their crimes
Have to love Margaret.
...Manifest Destiny
Bet yer ass
Would the chief of staff not have a agent close by?
Are those people crossing the street on a red light? CJ could have gotten killed!
The title of this seems fitting today considering January 6th.
This didn't age well thanks to the DNC just ousting a sitting President
Boy did your comment age well. Remember a few weeks ago when your people staged a coup and removed BIden from running for re-election? lol
The current Dems just did
First or something
Or nah
11th!
Ask the DNC
It wasn't a coup. More analgous to invoking the 25th Amendment. Good thing it happened, too, because now Trump won't win.
