Which TV show most accurately represents your idea of how Washington DC works?
VEEP - Completely selfish, cruel people with no real values or loyalty, but often brought down by incompetence or the inability to deal with unexpected events
HOUSE OF CARDS - Brilliant strategists two steps ahead of everyone else, mixed with dullards who are easy to manipulate. Murder to protect/advance career not out of the question.
WEST WING - Generally principled people who sometimes do the right thing, sometimes end up doing the wrong thing, but they usually try to make a decent effort. In the end, they are probably more principled than politically savvy. Also, very charming.
