Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : She won her first election in 2003, right when Trump was taping the first season of his career-resuscitating TV show, "The Apprentice.
60% : Cooley and Harris exchanged views on three-strikes sentencing, whether to defend possibly unconstitutional ballot initiatives in federal court, enforcing immigration laws and more.
51% : And that's unfortunate, because the debate provided a clear, substantive contrast between the candidates at a pivotal time for criminal justice reform in California.
33% : I re-watched both debates this week, looking for clues on what to expect against Trump on Tuesday.
21% : With Trump on the stage, no one expects a debate like that Tuesday.
