Back in 2016, just after the election, there was a panel of the creative teams behind all the top political TV shows. Veep, House of Cards, Scandal, etc. Every writer and producer said the same thing; if they had put on a character that said he liked soldiers who didn’t get captured, the advertisers and networks would have demanded that the character be treated as a pariah by every voter. Trump’s been deplorable since day one.
I’ve posted this before.
