The four friends end up watching the political talk shows on Sunday morning together and they could not believe what they were seeing.

All of the candidates were giving separate speeches and every single one was just saddening the four friends. The system has become so corrupt that the four friends do not even recognize what they wish to study.

"When did we become supporters of a system that is so messed up? I mean was the system always this bad and we just didn't notice? Or is this system just so entirely messed up that there is no fixing it? The front runners have the highest unfavorables, No one likes the people running and one of these people are going to become the President of the United States. This is a sad situation, can we call a do over?" Sarah is just so upset that the entire political system just seems to be so wrong. She knows that she is the biggest optimist but she cannot honestly see herself working in a system that has such a serious disregard for voters and their morals. If the unfavorables are this high, there should be a way for the American people to choose a different set of candidates. It is clear that people don't like or trust these candidates, why are they still running?

"I think that the candidates this year seem to be worse than any other election, I have to wonder if this is because of the evolution of information trafficking. In a world with no twitter and google, I don't see a Ronald Card winning an election. He needs a system of quick one liners and not a lot of thought to win." Scott knows the issues with his candidate, and it only gets worse the more he has a chance to talk.

The other two friends just keep watching the shows hoping that a miracle will happen at some point, but knowing that it won't. They knew that this system was corrupt but there just seems to be so much mud, they can't see any grass that might have originally been there.

"We need to use social media to our advantage, we have to move that plan into action a lot faster then we anticipated. This cannot be acceptable. If it was just the cheating I would accept it, but this... this is cannot accept." Sarah is already on her laptop trying to figure out how to fix this. She will not allow her country to fall into the clutches of any of these candidates and therefore has to come up with a viable solution.

Her friends help her spitball ideas and bounce ideas off of them, offering whatever support and knowledge that they can.
