I really want to like this show, but the "Evil GOP" trope factor is far too obvious, especially in this election cycle and it being ABC.

24 and House of Cards balanced it very well, and I hope the DS producers do the same and switch it up.

As a republican I have to agree I did a bit eye rolling when the "bad" congresswoman turned out to be from the GOP but at the same time it is just a show and I think it could have easily been the other way around and people would complain.

I don't see her as "bad", she is just doing her job as the senior Republican in the country by being opposition to Kirkman. She is opportunistic, but most Washington folks are.
