Season 4, Episode 13
7/10
The Cult of Claire
20 December 2016
The plot armor on Claire is so thick, the entire nation love her, for what reason? Lets review her past achievements: Got into the position of ambassador through pure nepotism (arguably illegal) with zero experience; She deliberately sabotaged decades of relationship progress between US and Russia for one selfish delusional protester; She destabilized middle east on multiple occasions; She got tricked by a Russia agent and led the special ops directly into a trap. Then she blames her demotion on Frank rather than her own colossal failures. Her favorite words to Frank are "Fix it", Frank is constantly trying to fix her past mistakes. Even in 1st season Claire's hypocrisy was off the charts, she blamed Frank for cant accept the SanCorp money, but actually SanCorp's only objective was to use that money to buy political favors from Frank. Claire's entire career is built on top of leeching off Frank's political power while whining about it, every time they were in crisis Frank was the one to figure a way out, she even sabotaged his water bill, and somehow she is entitled to Frank's success. Im sure the writers forcing the praise of Claire down our throat has nothing to do with Robin Wright is an executive producer.... We get it, your executive producer's character is the main protagonist, you want to increase her involvement in the show.
