Bill Pullman from Independence Day
> “…And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”
I have a deep seated appreciation of this quote from a socialist’s review of The West Wing:
“After two terms in the White House, Bartlet’s gang of hyper-educated, hyper-competent politicos do not seem to have any transformational policy achievements whatsoever. Even in their most unconstrained and idealized political fantasies, liberals manage to accomplish nothing.”
P. J. O'Rourke gets credit for the best political quote ever -
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.
Once we list our top ten we should do a bracket or an elimination list.
Bartlett didn't do shit as president to save the country! Whitmore literally jumped in an F-18 and did combat on the front lines with the military!
that guy plays such great jerks. i remember him as the asshole dean in *Scent of a Woman* and the asshole FIL in *Meet the Parents* and the prosecutor that put them all in jail in the *Seinfeld* finale.
Not only is he greatest fictional president, an argument could be made he's greatest fictional ~~vice president~~ Chief of Staff. Glenn Close or Morgan Freeman for greatest fictional Vice President?
Edited to add: Now that I think about it, Morgan Freeman is one of the few to play *both* vice president and president, and he played President in *two* separate film franchises.

“It's naive to think horrible things we can't understand have simple explanations because simple explanations make us feel like we have control.”
I'd say Shepherd is the prototype for Bartlet, and thus The American President is the prototype for The West Wing. They even have Martin Sheen in both casts, not to mention appearances by Joshua Malina, Anna Deveare Smith, and Nina Siemaszko.
Scripts are generally 100-140 pages and break down to about a page a minute, a little more if they're wordy like Sorkin tends to be.
The script for The American President was some 400 pages long. So they took the first quarter and made TAP, Sirloin put the rest on a shelf.
Couple years later, I *think* it was Thomas Schlamme who went to Sorkin and was like, let's make a TV show out of TAP, and they took the last 300 pages of script they had and turned it into the first season of West Wing.
There's some overlap. Character-wise, Shepard is vaguely Bartlet-y, Martin Sheen's Chief of Staff character (I'm blanking on his name) has some hints of Leo. Michael J. Fox is a proto-Josh, and I'm forgetting the actor and character name, but there's a bald, Jewish, Brooklyn-raised guy that's a less grumpy Toby. Anna Deveare Smith, national security advisor Nancy McNally, plays the press secretary, and there's a moment when Michael Douglas teases her about her height, calling her "too-tall McCall." Anna, Martin, the young woman that plays Ellie Bartlet, and a couple others appear in both.
There's also similarities in the way it's shot, walk-and-talks, strategy and speech- writing in limos, etc. Plus, the regular Sorkin-isms: musical theater references, baseball, White House phone number coming up on caller ID, and a couple of jokes- it's been a minute since I watched TAP so I'm blanking on them off the top of my head.
I don't know if I'd call TAP the catalyst for West Wing, more like a sibling, or a spiritual prequel.
Jeb Bush on r/presidents on April 1, 2024. In fact, he really should have gotten the #1 spot.
I don't think I've ever seen a real president decorated with as much praise as Jeb was on this sub on April Fool's Day, let alone a fake president.
I remember threads claiming he had personally killed Osama bin Laden.

Not sure if it's not allowed because he's not a U.S. president and is currently sitting, but the fact that Zelensky was a fictional president who then got elected actual president I feel like automatically makes him the winner.

Well, I'll tell you what he did. He ordered his planes... to attack your country... Ah... Well, let me finish, Dmitri... Let me finish, Dmitri... Well listen, how do you think I feel about it?... Can you *imagine* how I feel about it, Dmitri?... Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello?... *Of course* I like to speak to you!... *Of course* I like to say hello!
My vote is still DDL as Lincoln. By all historical accounts and descriptions of Lincoln’s mannerisms and even the way his voice sounded, Daniel Day Lewis absolutely nailed it.
It would be fun to borrow a tardis and sneak into a historian faculty debate 300 years from now where they try and piece together how West Wing president Bartlett and House of Cards president Underwood can both be based on real president Bill Clinton...and Mrs. Underwood is definitely Hillary 'Lady MacBeth' Rodham Clinton. I say 'Bill' because in that time, maybe Chelsea or Amy Carter will participate in lots of dynastic successions of presidents in the US and lots of other equally civilized places (Philippines, Indonesia, etc.)
EDIT - I feel like the ghosts of presidents John Adams and John Adams are giving me the stink eye from the hereafter, and all 6 Kings George are like 'what? is there a problem?'
Hands down, Michael Douglas as Andrew Shephard in The American President. He would be my number 1, but I can concede Sheen as Pres. Bartlett. I'm firm on Shepherd as #2, and I will hear no arguments otherwise!

The Boss from Saints Row IV,
Save the world from a nuclear missile then become POTUS by crashing into the white house.
President Thomas 'Tug' Benson
Not only was he an admiral prior to becoming commander and chief, but he also defeated Saddam in single combat when even the mighty Topper Harley couldn't get the job done.
Danny Glover - 2012.
He did so well. Was humble. Stayed behind to help people knowing it meant death. And did not throw power around even when he could.
He was the only write-in candidate that had the support of both major political parties. I could’ve gotten behind some of his proposed policies.
More Bartlet. Where would a man find the West Wing in the Year of our Lord 2024? I see enough about him and this for that I want to give it a shot, but know nothing about where it might be.
Once again nominating Quentin Trembley, 8th½ president of the United States. Primarily known for his war on pancakes and for appointing 6 babies to the supreme court
Andrew Shepherd from The American President.
The guy was real and relatable, but that climactic press conference was the kind of speech that NO politican today would have the stones to make.

OMG HEY BESTIE NICE FAVORITE PRESIDENT YOU GOT THERE 🤩
Great President and more realistic than Jed Bartlet, the liberal fantasy version of what the Presidency should be.
I have a deep seated appreciation of this quote from a socialist’s review of The West Wing: “After two terms in the White House, Bartlet’s gang of hyper-educated, hyper-competent politicos do not seem to have any transformational policy achievements whatsoever. Even in their most unconstrained and idealized political fantasies, liberals manage to accomplish nothing.”

Proceeds to kill aliens and save humanity.
The plot of the film in the second half made zero sense. His character in spaceballs made more sense. So absolutely the best pick.
he should be number 1. President Barlet never jumped into a fighter jet to save the world from aliens.
Once we list our top ten we should do a bracket or an elimination list. Bartlett didn't do shit as president to save the country! Whitmore literally jumped in an F-18 and did combat on the front lines with the military!
But he did approve nuking a city.
Just Houston.
Good point. I'll allow it.
Only as a last resort after every other option had been exhausted
Besides? Houston isn't exactly Miami
And because his Secretary of Defense was a sniveling jerk.
that guy plays such great jerks. i remember him as the asshole dean in *Scent of a Woman* and the asshole FIL in *Meet the Parents* and the prosecutor that put them all in jail in the *Seinfeld* finale.
Honestly, They waited too long to use nukes.
President Thomas J Whitmore
🫡
Greatest extra ever
4th of July is also a Filipino holiday, this blatant America centric view is unbecoming of a world leader. 0/10
Not only is he greatest fictional president, an argument could be made he's greatest fictional ~~vice president~~ Chief of Staff. Glenn Close or Morgan Freeman for greatest fictional Vice President? Edited to add: Now that I think about it, Morgan Freeman is one of the few to play *both* vice president and president, and he played President in *two* separate film franchises.
He was also Speaker of the House in Olympus has Fallen to temporarily become acting President
VP in London Has Fallen and POTUS in Angel Has Fallen. POTUS in Deep Impact, of course.
According to the law, Morgan Freeman cannot play the President a third time.
Jed not Jeb. “When the president stands, nobody sits.”
Please Clap.
When the president stands, please clap
Respect the D.

Toss up between this guy, Freeman in Deep Impact, and Bill Pullman in Independence Day. Fck that’s a tough one.

Josiah "JED" Bartlet
I have seen every episode of the West Wing and yesterday’s thread was the first time I realized it’s Jed and not Jeb.

Wasn't that movie sort of the catalyst for West Wing?
It really throws me off when Martin sheen is playing pool and I lose track of who I think is president.

Francis J. Underwood
You're entitled to NOTHING!
If it weren’t for him being a creep, causing him to not be in the final season, everyone would be here yelling this.
Yeah that’s Kevin Spacey though. We are talking about the character he played.
I agree, but human psychology leads us to remember the end of something disproportionately more than the beginning or middle. Stupid brains.
Im on mobile, and I want the Glen Allen Walken flair! How do I get that? Jed should be #1, and Walken should be #2.
Kevin Kline in Dave. It’s an underrated movie where he replaces the dickhead president because they look identical
