At times should have been called the left wing
Unlike Newsroom where a conservative spends his whole time attacking only his party.
They also did a good job of showing good guys from both parties and even showed bad guys on the dem side willing to hold off on passing legislation with bipartisan support so they could attack repubs in the elections.
Only a few evil Repubs. Haffley and Marsh. A couple other minor evil repubs.
I would have liked to see the Santos years with Arnie advising him on foreign matters.
I don't agree that the show fell off that much after Sorkin left and I don't have any problem with what happened with Toby. It makes sense that Toby would do what he did.

I agree with everything you said here.
And, I also do not like Newsroom.
West Wing was the perfect TV show. Going to watch an episode now.

Yeah, the show was liberal, but it didn't go to the Cartoon Conservative well THAT often. Honestly, the show attacked Blue Dog Dems more than any group, though both Vice Presidents turned into pretty good characters.
But mainly it was a show about people who wanted to do the right thing, and let their ideals guide them. We could use more shows like that, regardless of politics. It was people trying to do good, and the message was that while we don't want to see the sausage get made, public servants are just that.
