Politics is too deep

Knowing nothing about politics, I was obviously shocked after watching this movie, and I was deeply impressed:
George Clooney is really handsome.
The intern's name is Molly, she's pretty, and she's actually pregnant with the governor's child, and takes the initiative to flirt with Steven. This circle is really messy enough.
After Molly had a miscarriage, it was very painful to learn that Steven was gone! I was also naive to think she had found a man in charge who had fallen in love with Steven and was suffering because of his departure. It's a pity that she committed suicide because she was afraid that Steven would tell her about the governor. Again, talk about feelings, politics is not for you.
Duffy played a trick, just a trick, to turn Steven from a young prospective White House clerk into a loser with nothing. In the struggle for power and tactics in political life, one move is enough to kill. To play politics, ruthlessness is a must.
Morris and Steven met for a psychological game, and they were still in the Confederate army the day before, chatting and laughing in a plane. A day later, it became the two opposing sides who revealed each other's cards, attacked each other and used each other.
Paul, who emphasized loyalty, fired Steven, and said with self-righteousness that you are nothing without loyalty in politics. It's a pity that he was fired by Morris under pressure. The so-called loyalty in politics is not worth much, but it is worth using value.
At the end of the plot, the successful Steven said with a blank face to his journalist friend Ida, who once wanted to use his negative news to intimidate him, We are best friends. There are no friends and no feelings in politics. People with useful value are friends, and people without useful value are just shit.
