Also, that scene when they are weighing what their dad should do with all this random advice before the second debate and then after he has his ass handed to him they are like “WHO TOLD DAD THAT?” and no one wants to take credit and I just think about that chasm, like for Mitt internally, that was what he got for trusting one of his lethal-idiot sons who Googled it up or purloined it from some Fox program and then it being the source of his failing when his sons have been his wellspring of unflappable pride…best part of the movie?

Also, Ann’s power suits and the weird part with the horse tongue!

3 moments that struck me:

1) so much constant family involvement in high-level strategic campaign conversation. Why on earth would you want all of your kids telling you what to say in your debates and stuff? Like, would a president Mitt just have all his boys gathered in the oval office arguing over what he should and shouldn’t do? SO WEIRD.

2) The amazing scene where they soliliquize about how dems don’t understand how much pressure small business owners are under…this forceful belief that the other party is completely blinkered by their subject position and circumstances, coupled with the complete obliviousness to the ways in which they might themselves have a limited understanding of any issue for similar reasons.

3) “It’s for my wife’s MS you a-hole!” I love the angry non-swear!
