Candidates Confessions!?

'Candidates Confessions!?'
Is this what you think of the Election Candidates and their election platforms/issues?

'Make It Mandatory' - The Ides of March
Opens TODAY!
Early VOTING begins TOMORROW!
{depending on where you go to the movies and where you VOTE}

"An idealistic staffer for a newbie presidential candidate gets a crash course on dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail."
"During the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, an up-and-coming campaign press secretary finds himself ..."
"Though it’s a story told within the world of politics, March isn't really political at all. It's about something bigger and more deeply cynical."

'Is this man our next president?'
{Notice the dual-identity of the photo with a partial view of the glossy name.}
In other words,
Do you know who are the Candidates running in Elections?
Do you know the Candidates platforms?
Do you know what 'issues' are important to that Candidate?
Do you know if the Candidates positions are aligned with what matters to you as a VOTER?

NO SPOILER ALERT!
WE ARE NOT TELLING YOU WHOM TO VOTE FOR.

But do you really know who you are VOTING for on Election Day?

The movie 'The Ides of March' presents a perspective that some VOTERS take into consideration when choosing a candidate. Some VOTERS are concerned about the morals, education, socio-economic status and specific platforms of an Election Candidate.
