This is the atmosphere they believe they need to create for get elected as president and vice president.
Do you think its worth it?
asks Frank at the beginning of Chapter 54.
He glares at Claire, then begins to laugh.
For them, itsallworth it.
That stuff isnt going away, no matter how much Frank might want it to.
The goods news for Frank?
See how slyly she throws that out to the media to garner fear?
Claire is no slouch in the creating fear department.
While shes making that appearance, an old friend of the Underwoods approaches Claire.
Its not particularly convincing, but perhaps its enough to avoid an argument so close to election day.
Namely, he needs to wrangle Jim Matthews, the man he screwed over not all that long ago.
Franks plan comes together when Aidan hacks into a Capital East Telecom Switching Center to delete everything incriminating.
As Aidan nervously awaits the file deletion, phones and Wi-Fi around D.C. start to go on the fritz.
GPS signals are lost, phones are buzzing randomly, and TV signals are cut out.
But he regains his composure quickly, and his plan becomes clear.
Im not so sure this tactic will work though.
