Watching The West Wing, an excellent show from the "before times." It's a remarkable record of optimistic belief in principled candidates and an intelligent populace.
On Season 7, the campaign between Santos (Democrat) and Vinick (Republican).
Both candidates are deeply principled, refusing to exploit opportunities to harm their opponent. Each consistently steers the campaign back to real issues and humanist values.
It's more of a fantasy than Game of Thrones ever was. And it's awesome.
