Domenico Montanaro: 我认为目前美国民主正面临严峻挑战，大多数人对政治领导人缺乏信心，对政治暴力感到担忧。共和党人对民主的看法随总统所属党派而变化，而民主党人和独立人士的看法则相对稳定。人们普遍关注国家的分裂、党派偏见和公民礼仪的缺失。尽管人们对政治领导人不满意，但现任政客通常不会被投票出局，因为竞争激烈的席位越来越少，许多人对两党都不满意但又没有其他选择。在移民问题上，人们的实际观点比政治立场更加微妙，对不同情况下的移民驱逐存在不同看法。总的来说，我认为现在美国社会各方面都存在着比较严重的问题，各个阶层的人民对社会现状都有诸多不满。 Mara Liasson: 我认为民众对经济和法案的看法与对总统和国会的支持率有时脱节。特朗普无法再次竞选总统，共和党人需要考虑特朗普对共和党选民的影响是否能转移到其他候选人身上。反对特朗普的强烈程度很高，导致他难以提高支持率。我认为现在共和党内部也面临着比较严重的问题，需要尽快解决，否则可能会在未来的选举中面临失败的风险。
