Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : I asked my Post Opinions colleagues Jason Willick and E.J. Dionne Jr. to help make sense of this moment: What does this mean for Trump -- and the country?
40% : Whatever you think of the merits of the case, the guilty verdict reflects a pattern of behavior and character from Trump that, frankly, aren't great for someone who wants to run the country!
38% : The prosecution clearly established, to the satisfaction of this jury, that Trump falsified documents to arrange a payoff for silence.
37% : So in the meantime, Democrats can use it politically against Trump.
35% : I think this effort to delegitimize elections (which Trump, of course, knows something about) is what is most rotten for democracy.
34% : It is good for the country because apologists for Trump will be questioned more intensely about why they were so eager to defend despicable behavior that a jury has ruled is criminal.
25% : The more they say, the more ammunition it gives Trump to argue (correctly, in my view) that this was a politicized, unfair trial undertaken for political reasons.
18% : Donald Trump is now a convicted felon running for president, having been found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial.
