‘Veep’ lays out blueprint for a presidential spoiler

Published



For those still holding out hope that somebody not named Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will be sworn in as president next January, I strongly recommend watching the June 19 episode of “Veep.”

What went down didn’t involve a miracle third-party candidate snatching the White House away from Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a shady deal a la “Scandal” or something a bit less morally kosher that would have been up Frank Underwood’s alley on “House of Cards.”
