Movie #1996 ........................."A West Wing Special To Benefit When We All Vote (2020) (HBO max)

 Movie #1996 "A West Wing Special To Benefit When We All Vote (2020)  HBO max -- "Hartsfield's Landing"  is the episode Aaron Sorkin decided to mount on stage.  Why?  It's about Barlett's re-election and the votes  that come in the first couple of hours on Election  Day --- and that have traditionally designated  the end  results of the elections.  This episode covers the few hours before those votes come in --- will Barlett be -re-elected?  The show doesn't end with the results, but getting to them are a lot of discussions dealing with national security and china --- very topical, very talky, very, very powerful.  I recommend it and give it 4.5 out of 5.  (PS  -- when you sign up for HBO max, they give you one week free and then they charge you -- so if you cancel it the day before your trial subscription ends, you will have no trouble seeing this,  and it's well worth the effort)
