Before Watching House of Cards, Brush Up on How Season 4 Ends

Republican presidential candidate Will Conway has a lot of things going for him that Frank doesn't: He's young and personable, he has a cute family he likes to show off, and has an impressive military record. He doesn't shy away from being tough on terrorism either and even helps in the negotiations with the ICO terrorists who kidnap the Miller family. Overall, he's no joke as a political opponent for Frank. But in the end, Conway simply can't compete with Frank's relentless dedication to holding onto his power.

Conway thinks the presidency is all but his in the finale, when Tom Hammerschmidt's article about Frank is published just weeks before Election Day. But after Frank's speech and the live execution of James Miller, the public's fear might make them stand behind their current president and his promise, rather than buy into the Herald's story and switch their votes. Sorry, pretty boy.
