This is a good thread
May I contribute some?
How so? I kind of want to keep this mostly as an independent project.
I'm curious about what other politicians, media members, and even comedians are thinking during this process.
I'd like to see a phone conversation between Barack and Joe.
A conversation between Bill & Hillary with Chelsea as she mulls her political future
Is Nancy Pelosi mulling stepping down from Congress?
A Republican Senator is mulling over a serious primary challenge to Trump. He ran in 2016 and is from a highly populous, large southern state (starts with a T...). This senator sees that Trump is not the reincarnation of Reagan but their Jimmy Carter and will cause the Rs to lose badly in 2020.

How does Paul Ryan *REALLY* feel about members of his own caucus and Donald Trump?
And speaking of Trump, there are a lot of different avenues one could take with his time in the White House. You could highlight that things aren't the same as it was when he ran in 2016. The crowds are getting smaller. There is now more hostility towards his administration and policies especially from people that supported him.
I assume after the midterms he fired several members of his cabinet (kept Mattis & Sessions, fired Devos & Carson, Kelly resigned over scandal, Tillerson left due to policy differences that was later revealed as a scandal) as well as replaced people within his circle. Bannon and Conway are still there, just in different capacities. Spicer and Priebus have been replaced with yes-men who were later replaced with other yes-men. He is pretty much alone, isolated at this point and it is getting worse. Trump walks White House hallways late at night, alone.
Those are some of the ideas I have.
