- if Trump is an existential threat to American democracy

- why Mike has more faith in the Supreme Court than Mark does

- the rise of right-wing populism in democracies around the world

- election integrity and public faith in elections

- responsibility for the ‘culture wars’

- if Trump is so awful, why nearly half of all voters support him
