Eh, unlike some of the other conversations, politics is a saturated market. I'm not sure you'd hear anything new here, and it won't stand out in the noise anyway. Curious though, what would you hope to hear discussed? Geopolitical intrigue? Tech industry angle? Here's one interesting thing I'll say: The vast majority of this kind of "news" consists of non-events. Think about it when you see the next story. So-and-so will have delivered a form to whats-her-face over in the fleem department and their press office will be releasing comments to the newspapers. None of this stuff means anything if you don't know the context. It's pretty funny.

For myself, I'd like to see a breakdown on why each side feels a specific way -- for example, not everyone who hates Trump loves Hillary, and not everyone who supports Trump really likes the guy, but are focused on specific policies that touch them. A contractor that I work with has been hit really hard by rapidly increased monthly health care premiums, so he is not in favor of Obama care. On the other hand, my significant other is medically disabled, and the ACA has been a godsend for her. For myself, I'm comfortable with employer provided insurance, don't have family coverage, so that issue doesn't affect me personally either way. I'd like to hear more specifics issues like this, along with possible solutions that have a good chance of working.
