Column: Lock him up? Donald Trump's crimes present a challenge for Kamala Harris' campaign

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : chants stoked by Trump eight years ago, permitted herself a nod and a smile.
61% : The yearning to see Trump brought down is one component of the wave of enthusiasm that has so dramatically boosted Kamala Harris' candidacy over the last month.
47% : It's right partly because of the clear contrast with Trump.
42% : Harris is announcing to the country that although she is seeking power, she believes her power should be constrained by the checks and balances that Trump openly flouted -- even if her supporters might wish it otherwise for the purposes of punishing an adversary.
39% : Trump would seek to leverage it to support his claim that the charges against him amount to a political railroading.
38% : There's no gainsaying the hunger of many in the crowd at Chicago's United Center, and of Democrats across the country, to see Trump behind bars.
33% : In addition, even the slightest tangible sign of official support for incarcerating Trump is likely to breed complications in the actual cases.
27% : They also repeatedly invoked Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation agenda suggesting Trump intends to convert the Department of Justice to an instrument of political retribution against his enemies.
22% : And we can expect Trump and his surrogates to continue to suggest that Harris is trying to "lock him up" for political purposes.
12% : But for Harris, a top official in the government carrying out two of Trump's prosecutions, her supporters' lust to see Trump locked up is a tricky topic.
12% : Unlike Clinton in 2016, Trump is a convict as well as a criminal defendant in three additional cases.
