We had a thorough discussion on the candidacy of Donald Trump and the ways he compares/contrasts with Andrew Jackson. We discussed many areas, including politics, economics, attitudes toward immigrants and Native Americans, banking and other political topics. These topics were delved into in a thorough manner and we were able to make strong connections with past presidential elections. Next we looked at other current events and investigated another presidential hopeful; Lindsy. Following that we talked about Congress: the problems with Congress, and ways it might be fixed. We briefly watch a C-Span program that addressed that very issue.
