As Claire begins her ascendancy to the throne, Kathy seems willing to let her get there. This is a real political drama to be sure. Why is Kathey being so calm? The fun thing about this episode is the convention itself. It is masterfully presented in all its glory. We watch as the states spar over the Vice Presidency. One vote for Claire seems to plant the seed for the rest of the time. I don't know if this is even a plausible events, although I suppose strange things happen. So much depends on sympathy for Frank, but it also relies on fear of his health degenerating. Deals and lies are there for one purpose: to see these creeps continue to bide their time. The scene with Conway and the Pres in the private room with the ham and turkey (who is who?) is priceless. It reminds me of a time when I was on the debate team. We were allowed to spend time researching in the library, but we only talked about football. These guys are shifty politicians and each knows the other quite well. This is a great setup for the coming offering.
