In the film Primary Colors, Jack Stanton, a charismatic governor of a Southern state, is running for president of the United States. His campaign is guided by his enthusiastic and idealistic young adviser, Henry Burton. As the campaign progresses, Henry becomes more and more disillusioned with the political process and with Stanton's flaws and weaknesses.
Stanton is a talented politician, but he is plagued by a number of personal and professional issues. He is a womanizer and has a history of extramarital affairs. His wife, Susan, is a brilliant political strategist who is fiercely loyal to her husband, but she is also deeply conflicted about his infidelities.
As the campaign unfolds, the Stanton team encounters a number of challenges, including an outspoken adviser named Richard Jemmons, who is determined to steer the campaign in his own direction. The team also must deal with a series of scandals and controversies, including allegations of corruption and unethical behavior.
Despite these challenges, Stanton remains a strong and viable candidate for president. His charisma and charm win over voters, and he is able to maintain his lead in the polls throughout the campaign.
In the end, the Stanton campaign is successful, and he is elected president of the United States. However, as Henry reflects on the experience, he realizes that politics is a messy and complicated business, and that no one is immune to its corrupting influence.
