The 2016 Presidential election is getting all kinds of crazy. 

Not in real life. That’s been all kinds of crazy ever since Donald Trump entered his name as a candidate many months ago.

Watch Scandal Season 5 Episode 19 Online

On Scandal Season 5 Episode 19, however, Governor Louise Baker of Florida agreed to support Susan in her race for the White House (due to a deal with David Rosen), only for Hollis Doyle to still go ahead and win the Sunshine State primary.

For Mellie, it was a challenge simply to get to Baker, considering she was stuck on a tarmac for hours after Abby pretended there was mechanical trouble on Air Force One.

It wasn’t until Mellie actually stepped off the plane – in front of a slew of interested reporters, of course – that Fitz entertained the notion of letting her fly.

Eventually, though, these two found common ground over their mutual concern for Olivia.

Ah, yes, Olivia. What about her on this installment of Scandal Season 5?

She’s spiraling downward faster than Usain Bolt running a 100-meter dash.

Terrible comparisons aside, her team is starting to turn on her a bit, taunting her over how she is always trying to save Jake… and she’s also starting to turn on herself.She aligned herself with Abby against Hollis at the last second, providing a shred of hope for the old friends going forward, yet it remains unclear if she can ever come to terms with that whole murder thing.

Elsewhere kept things very interesting in Washington by accusing Cyrus of cheating. Did you catch the seething look on the latter’s face as soon as Tom’s name left Michael’s mouth?

Later on, though, this relationship took a brighter turn when Michael agreed to help oust Frankie’s brother from the campaign

However, Cyrus then home and found that Michael ran away with their daughter. So much for any sort of hope, huh?

Who would have thought this marriage could actually be a worse one than the one between Cyrus and James?!?

A few questions to end this recap before you go watch Scandal online for yourself:

Is there sexual tension between Marcus and Mellie?

Just how scary is Doyle as Scandal’s versio of Trump?!?

Abby totally crossed the line when she went off on Fitz, right?

Who else  was stunned by Mellie’s reaction to the news that Olivia killed Andrew? Yes, the guy sucked. But OLIVIA KILLED ANDREW.

That has to elicit at least one jaw drop, right?
