Reaganism, with particular emphasis on the question of whether government is the principal engine of human advancement, a barrier to human advancement, or something in between. 

Any concept of mental health you may wish to define and advocate, with particular emphasis on whether this statement is better evidence of healthy self-confidence or narcissistic personality disorder.

Barack Hussein Obama, with a comparison a Mr. Trump's and Mr. Obama's theories of presidential power.

You may open your blue books. Good luck.
