The metagame here is the media environment and campaign habits. It doesn't seem to me like you have to already be in office to affect it at least some.
in that case the metagame is way HARDER than the actual game, and if you could control the media then you wouldn't need to etc.
Yes. It is easier to get elected than to change the entire election system. People get elected year after year, and the system doesn't change.
