[kblpmqww] Manchurian Candidate

A reality show based on an actual election. An entertainment group, perhaps a TV network, runs a completely fake candidate in a real election (perhaps in a Congressional election), and the public is invited to unmask "the Manchurian candidate". The catch is the candidate's platform is precisely scripted to be broadly popular, except for one (or more) highly undesirable features that if finally asked about them, the candidate will answer truthfully (and consequently reveal himself to be planted). The broad goal is to get voters to question and examine all their candidates more carefully.
