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.

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.

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.

Santos was not Russel, who had to rely on his staff for everything. Santos could do things outside Josh's strategy.

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.

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.
