I guess I don't understand enough about what happened to select these politicians to indicate they would act the way they do. The Speaker of the House is hung out to dry for some reason. Do the writers ever think about the weird situation they find themselves in? Wells has been kidnapped and finds herself in a really unique situation.

We're really starting to get down to the gritty of who the conspirators were in the capitol bombing.
Kimble proves to be a very smart politician. Seeing that the handwriting is on the wall, she is ready to leave the speaker job and resign from Congress as she sees that the House Ethics Committee will say she is guilty.
Kimble shows she is shrewd by saying she will resign if funding for the arts is continued and not allowed to sunset as the original bill had stated. Kirkman shows his political savvy by nominating her for Secretary of Education. Doesn't she have to be confirmed?
Nonetheless, this was quite an interesting episode and Agent Welles apparent escape made it even more so. Watch out for these nationalists. They'll do just about anything to bring down the government.

Continued collapse of an interesting concept....

Once what started as a fairly interesting concept for a political television show has descended into nothing more than a highly dumbed- down version of the West Wing (with the predictable subtle liberal leanings thrown in for good measure.)
First, starting with the obvious - WHOEVER is editing this show needs to be terminated. The stock footage for this entire system of random shots across Washington, DC (including the White House, various capital buildings, etc) jumps back and forth across multiple seasons. During the cut from one scene, there are lush leaves on the trees....then 10 minutes later, a close up of the White House grounds has melting piles of snow. Nice work guys...really? Are the characters traveling through time?! Brilliant.
Onto the collapsing story line...all of the major issues on the show toe the liberal talking points (gun control, arms reduction, cash for the arts, etc.) Those that support these causes are independents and the democrats (naturally), while the steadfast evil Republicans oppose all of these measures. Then, lets introduce another villain, an 'alt-right' corporate stooge bent on tearing the government down. Last, let's throw a scene in there reminiscent of a Trump rally including a catchy Trump-worthy campaign slogan. Hello, mouth-breathing bias.
I've always subscribed to the notion that writers were fairly intelligent people. That being said, I may need to revisit that stance as I'd expect them to become a bit more clever in getting their left-wing point across to the audience. And really? Using the 'animal rustling in the forest' ploy to distract a character before being killed by the evil soldier-gone-rogue villain of the show? Are you completely out of ideas? Embarrassing, truly.
Regardless, the ratings will continue to plummet for this show and it'll be off the air in another season. But hey, at least some liberal talking points and subliminal directives were broadcast on the airwaves, right?

Getting too SJW for me.
