Fed up with the lack of credentials in an ever growing field of candidates, Democratic hopeful, Senator Adhemar Reyes spouts off on C-Span, "I'm tired of the I can see Russia from my porch candidates! I propose all presidential candidates be required to participate in a reality show to show how they handle crisis situations before we put them in the White House!"
Uh-oh. Congress buys onto the idea and Reyes is sucked into the mother of all reality shows, The President Factor.
As Reyes and his Republican counterpart tackle the challenges, the TV networks go about misusing the show's footage to satisfy their own political agendas, the slanted cable talk shows ratchet it up a notch and the current president spies on the team from the opposite party. Kinda like business as usual in DC today.
Kirkus Reviews calls it, "Incisive political satire … A timely caricature of the worst and the best of American politics."
