OK - Enough is Enough!

Warning: Spoilers
This series, spinning off from the sublime series, "The Good Wife", has made its politics obvious from the beginning. They don't like Trump - I get it. But the dislike of Trump doesn't seem to have anything much to do with the core of the show, which is litigation amid intra-firm contentiousness. Nobody should be surprised to find a hotshot law firm in Chicago whose partners and associates don't like Trump; it is a growing surprise to see a pivotal partner in that firm - already established as a brilliant attorney who regularly demonstrates her ability to argue the law irrespective of her own politics - becoming increasingly unhinged when her renowned Republican husband even uses the word "trump" casually. And then she apparently goes to a great length to secretly record Republican conversations at a cocktail party/GOP fundraiser - strictly illegal in Illinois and an offense for which she could be disbarred. (How did she even get in? She's an outspoken liberal Democrat.) I find this series continues to be brilliant, but let's get back to the core narration. And that's not Donald Trump.
