[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 62376, member: 46"] The point is that J.R.'s beatings of Cliff made Cliff nastier. The Cliff Barnes in the Season 2 episode "Election" was a nice guy who fought against big business and the Ewing family in particular. When the Ewings dug into Barnes' past and found out that his one-time fiancee, Penny Ames, had died of an illegal abortion around 10 years earlier, this badly damaged Cliff in the polls and he ended up losing the election. Cliff's response wasn't to stand his ground and live to fight another day, but to sell out to big business who eventually got him into the OLM so he could play out his increasing anti-Ewing obsession. There was also that episode where Sue Ellen was leaving J.R. for Cliff, and then J.R. paid Cliff a visit and made Cliff realize that his (Cliff's) political ambitions were more important to Cliff than his relationship with Sue Ellen, and that J.R. would destroy his political career if he (Cliff) had stayed with Sue Ellen. By Season 3, Cliff was worse than Digger with anti-Ewing sentiment. In Season 5, Cliff had recovered amazingly and had J.R. utterly beaten, yet was still unable to land the killer blow and ended up trying to commit suicide himself by the season's end, as J.R. got back on top thanks to Miss Ellie bailing him out of the mess he had gotten himself into when he had stockpiled millions of barrels of crude oil while the market price fell and fell. I liked both, but my favourite was Keenan Wynn. [/QUOTE]
