The fictional character a politician creates in order to win an election, complete with many lies and promises that will not be kept.
Everybody loved the Candidate Barack Obama. A brilliant speaker, extremely inspirational, and capable of making anyone scream with patriotism. However, while his presidency wasn't horrific, it wasn't nearly as good as he made us think it would be when he was the Candidate. He fumbled the handoff, the easiest play in sports, and gave us Trump and Biden. He needs to atone for that one.

That checkout girl is kinda cute. What do you think?

Yeah, but she could stand to gain some weight. I'd say she's a candidate for meat.

I can't believe that after 14 months of campaigning, we have so much candidate abandonment to our opponent. Yes, he's won every state, but the next states were looking good for us.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
