- Scott’s move from journalism to Congress to lobbyist
- changes in the GOP from Reagan to Trump
- corruption in Congress
- the importance of local investigative journalism
- why neither party seems to focus much on the middle
- institutional factors driving partisanship
- if things are likely to get worse before they get better
