> I love this show for all the clever insulting intra-office banter, but I find myself fast-forwarding over any cringe-inducing scenes where Selina Meyer has to appear in public, which so far is pretty much _every_ scene where she appears in public. How this character got elected Senator in the first place with such a maladroit and tone-deaf public speaking style is elusive.

There’s a strong implication in at least a couple of _Veep_ episodes that Selina comes from money—very big money. The further implication is that she essentially bought her Senate seat. (Not an unrealistic premise by any means.☹ )
