Commander in Chief (2005)
story line suggestions: third party movement
Given that it is a certainty that the CIC will run for another term, here is a suggestion for how to make it very interesting, and even historically appropriate:
The President should start a third party movement (from the political center, where she obviously stands, rather than from the far right or left).
There is a wealth of historical material to draw upon: Historically, the republican and democratic parties rarely agree upon anything, with one singular exception: they do everything possible to freeze out anything in the way of a third party movement that has any chance whatsoever of bringing about a realignment of the political landscape
Consider how the political landscape might be different had the Reform party chosen to carve its political turf out of the middle instead of the far right. American politics would almost certainly be different from what it is today.
