Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Bannon then polled the class on who they thought would win the election, with Trump receiving a substantial majority of this particular focus group.
51% : Every Tuesday afternoon this autumn, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous, 50 or so inmates crowded into a room at Danbury FCI to hear the words of wisdom of a man who claimed to still have the ear of Trump.
51% : "In prison, Bannon was very solicitous of authority, precisely as you might imagine Trump or his cohort of swaggering tough guys -- such as Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, Kash Patel -- would behave when confronted with the realization that there was a serious chance of receiving an actual punch in the face.
42% : Taylor Swift is not a pop star, Bannon said: She's the leader of a cult and should terrify Trump.
42% : The inmate said he considered the race tied, and an animated discussion ensued about the possibility of Trump using military force against "the enemy within" to enforce his will if he won -- or lost and succeeded in overthrowing the election result.
33% : Bannon then posed a question, in the manner of the Socratic method: Were you better off in 2019 when Trump was president, he asked an oversized inmate.
32% : "You might need to remind Trump that he can't do it," the abstaining inmate said, referring to the Bannon's looming reunion with his former boss.
31% : He'd recently spoken to Trump, he let them know, an idle boast that he'd used the prison's recorded phone system to catch up with his former boss.
29% : Displaying a penchant for grandiosity, Bannon humble-bragged that he was the "P1" referred to in the indictment against Trump for conspiracy to defraud the United States on Jan. 6, as The New York Times had recently reported.
27% : Bannon told the prisoners that Trump had refused to appear on 60 Minutes not because he might appear incoherent or say something disqualifying (if such a thing were possible).
