    Watch the actual shows.

    FU’s wife is a willing participant.

    Also, there’s a long, long history of political wives who schemed along side their husbands.

    Lady Macbeth sound familiar? Cleopatra? Elanor Roosevelt?

    But yes, Hillary and Bill are the only two it could have been. /s

        No, no.
        I’m going to blindly assert you’re wrong and chain together my own theories with semi-plausible arguments.

        Anyway, that’s how the internal power struggles of the Branch Davidians inspired House of Cards.

      Cleopatra was scheming long before she was shacking up. Kind of reductive to say she’s a “political wife”.

            So was Queen Isabella. She also married a powerful man.

            “Wife” = woman married to a man.

            “Political” = relating to politics.

            “Political wife” = a wife involved in politics with her husband.

            What part of that confused you
