    Do you have experience in government to be able to claim that veep is a good example of how it goes?

      I’ve worked in several states legislatures and have some limited experience working with congressional politicians. Most people I know agree that Veep is one of the more accurate depictions of the kind of people who work in politics. It’s obviously exaggerated for entertainment and there’s not nearly as much wacky hijinx, but it’s pretty relatable to anyone working with politicians.
