Also, they’ve cast the roles of Roscoe Conkling and Kate Chase Sprague, so we may get RI Sen. William Sprague chasing Conkling out of his Narragansett summer home with a shotgun. (William and Kate cheated on one another until their divorce.)

Was looking up Gilded Age power broker Roscoe Conkling and discovered my new favorite dependent clause, "to spite his large son."

we just started watching reacher and i must admit i’m quite taken with the large violent man with a heart of gold
or whatever but i have an important question: is the blonde lady cop named roscoe conklin as an intentional homage to 19th century republican senator roscoe conkling and if so, why

Shea Whigham as Roscoe Conkling is such insanely good casting that you have to be at my intersection of Character Actor Sicko and History Sicko to fully appreciate but fortunately that's like hundreds of thousands of people on here

thinking of becoming a garfield assassination truther. giteau was telling the truth when he yelled "i am a stalwart of the stalwarts." he was in the pocket of roscoe conkling, who was in turn an unwitting pawn of chester a arthur
Just a reminder that past motives for assassination attempts have included: "because the ghost of William McKinley told me to," "to save the trees" and "to impress Jodie Foster."
I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but: we still don’t know who the target was or what the motive is

Uh yea there’s a good chance it was trump cuz he was there and is the fucking president but… you only know what you know at any given moment so…. Report/act accordingly

garfield's time in office was dominated by a fight within the republican party between him and the stalwarts, led by NY senator roscoe conkling, ally of VP arthur. the senate was tied between D and R and conkling kept sinking garfield's nominees

A lot of the characters are pretty much spot on, in my view. Especially Conkling and Guiteau. Macfadyen’s Guiteau gets a little more manic each episode. Arthur is a bit over the top but fun. Shannon’s Garfield is very reserved. Wiggum’s Conkling is pretty much EXACTLY what I think he was like.

Shea Whigham, playing Senator Roscoe Conkling, the boss of the New York Republican political machine, with such compelling obnoxiousness that one hopes he will be punched at some point during the series. Always the sign of a great performance.

Is Roscoe Conkling really some enormous historical villain on the basis of his opposition to civil service reform?
