Running away from the only country they haven't been kicked out of.
I am kinda intrigued by the idea that Bidan could go off the rails and call it a coup if they try to do an open convention. Call it an attempt to thwart democracy, a coup, an insurrection that they're trying to depose a sitting president. Maybe he could call in a few f15's like he said we would need. I said previously maybe he'd lose it and say "why, it's not like we're gonna lose, we can just rig the machines like last time". It would bring the whole diseased temple down on them.
He was replaced some time ago. Her? Replaced? Cooperating? Honestly, it doesn't much matter, but the movie is getting good.
