Well, I was right, but theres a good chance that The Overton Window is even better.
Chucks deal with Axe is paying off.
That means record low voter turnout, which is a good thing for Chuck.

Axe wants Chuck to do a happy dance.
Chuck obliges with an absolutely hilarious flatfoot and buck, but hes not actually excited.
He has to drop out of the race.
Not everyone wants Chuck to back out.
Chuck Sr. wants his son to keep going too, to weather the storm.
He tells him to just lean into the fight, to deny the allegations and go on the offensive.
Still, Chuck needs to know why Foley is so set on sinking both their ships.
That means Foley has nothing to lose, and Chuck has no options.
Theyve been hacked, and Axe suspects Grigor.
No one else could shut down their whole system, including mobile devices and laptops.
At the podium though, he decides he cant do it.
He wont lose this way.
So, he goes all in.
He lays it out plainly, how hes into sadomasochism and practices with his loving, consenting wife.
He says his political opponents were going to use this against him, but I said bring it.
Of course, it comes at a cost.
Chuck tries to defend himself, saying that if Wendy is honest too, people will love it.
What hes not seeing is that this isnt about polling data.
This is personal, and Chucks move reveals something to Wendy.
It shows her just how ruthless he is.
Hes always drawn the line with her before, refusing to sacrifice his relationship in any way.
Now though, hes not above it.
We flash forward 30 days, and Chuck is sworn in as the States Attorney General.
Hes fully with Axe now.
So, Grigor hops on a plane, but not before meeting Axe on the tarmac.
Grigor will take it.
Its a weirdly anticlimactic end to this feud, if it is indeed the end.
Grigor has accepted that hell run his scams in Russia instead, and Axe will stay put in America.
Two oligarchs agreeing to stay within their borders.
Surely though, this isnt the end of Axe and Chucks troubles.
The two are growing closer, Douglas finally adjusting to who Taylor is.
Plus, theres Chucks marriage on the rocks.
