The core of comedy is true absurdity, absurd reality.
This drama has a very good portrayal of American politics. Take the titles of the first three seasons as an example. A poll line, coupled with news reports, sketched out Selina's career before becoming VP in just a few seconds:
"Time" "Is this the Mayer's moment?" The start of the run to be listed in Time magazine shows that Selina Mayer's starting point is quite high and she is an absolute establishment. )
The next two news: Senetor's White House Run/Mayer in New Hampshire (with Selina's big smile). Identity: Senator, target: White House, President. Before the US general election, the two parties will conduct their own primary elections (Primary) to determine their party's representatives. The conditions of the first three states in the primary election (Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina) are crucial to the subsequent elections. S won NH, at least gaining a foothold. At this time, S's polls are also rising. (Fun Fact: After the S recording incident in the ninth episode of the third season, he said he was dead. No VP can continue to run after losing the first two states. This year, Biden performed badly in Iowa and Xinhan, almost Was judged to be out, but turned the tide in South Carolina and became the final winner, I don’t know if I can have the last laugh)
The polls continue to rise: Mayer aims higher /Might be "President Mayer"/Mayer looking for nomination. From the question of "Mayer moment?" to the affirmative seeking nomination, Mayer is becoming more and more popular, and the position of President has become possible.
"People" "Magic Mayer" maintained its momentum, S got an interview with "People", "Charming Mayer" praised with various beautiful pictures on the cover, S reached its peak.
However, the good times did not last long, and the red line suddenly turned down from the peak: "Senator Crash Out" "Mayer's un-super Tuesday" After the first three state primaries, it is called "Super Tuesday", and multiple states start primaries at the same time. , The competition has entered a fierce stage, and S unexpectedly failed to occupy the advantage, no wonder the newspaper ironically, this is her "not super Tuesday."
The "Mayer suspends campaign" situation has taken a sharp turn to the point where the campaign is about to be suspended. It can be seen how miserable Mayeraz lost on Super Tuesday...Mayer's photos are no longer radiant. "NightMayer" homonym "Nightmare" (Nightmare), by the way, in the first season, the media also gave S a lot of nicknames, as if there really is such a person in the media. I really admire the creators.
After learning from the painful experience, Mayer was interviewed again by the major magazine, but this time the title became "Mayer the Survivor". Immediately, there were rumors that Mayer became Veep, and Mayer finally accepted the position of Number 2. After the primary election, the final representative often chooses the vice president from his i'jiz former competitors. After all, they also have their own voters''basic plate', which can drive the vote. It's just that those former candidates who pinched their noses to the winners' platform to gain more political capital, even the media know that they put quotation marks on the "proud" of "proud to be veep".
