Contributing sentiments towards policy:

73% : Prime time featured a rousing speech by wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, a song by Kid Rock and a speech by Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship -- all as warm-up acts before Trump delivered his acceptance speech.
59% : We aren't simply electing women and men; we're electing role models, and Trump has unquestionably been a role model for countless men.
30% : At The Atlantic, my friend, Tom Nichols (who's also written about the dangers of Trumpist masculinity), argues that men like Kelly, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina also offer better models for men than Trump, and Nichols is right.
24% : Whether I'm speaking of Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a former fighter pilot and astronaut, or Mark Hertling, my former division commander in Iraq, who is a Biden appointee to the American Battle Monuments Commission and a leading proponent of Ukraine's cause, or James Mattis, a former secretary of defense who did his best to serve Trump honorably but could not abide Trump's disloyalty to our allies.
22% : "We know all about Trump, but it's worth remembering some of his worst moments -- including a jury finding that he was liable for sexual abuse, his defamation of his sex-abuse victim, the "Access Hollywood" tape and the countless examples of his cruelly insulting the women he so plainly hates.
