Hey Damac, So I was thinking about the goals of Cordis Die (Judgement Day). I figure since in the trailer Menendez was hailed as the Messiah of the 99%, we were meant to think of this organisation as a bigger, more organised and networked version of the occupy movement in 2025.

Figuring Menendez's background, he hates the Western world; specifically the US, since the US-backed Contras massacred his people when he was growing up, therevy forcing him to move into a life of drugs and crime. Later on the CIA put out a successful hit on his father and as we know, he has moles in the agency and must have found out about it. Additionaly, his sister's death made things personal.

Although we might have the impression that he wanted plain and simple revenge for his sister, I'd like to think there was a part of him that wanted to make sure nobody else would suffer his fate except for those responsible.

With all this going on, I guess Menendez had a plan to cripple the 1% with his organisation. If you kill him in the campaign, he uploads a video telling Cordis Die they know what to do and it ends with the white house burning, crippling the country.
