Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : Trump then ended Harris' 2024 White House dreams.
73% : As Mondale praised Carter for his early recognition of global warming, a force that is fueling murderous fires in Los Angeles, Trump, a climate change denier, stared at his order of service as he sat beside future first lady Melania Trump.
57% : Obama is a gracious man, and people who have spent time with Trump say that despite his public spite, he's entertaining and funny in private.
55% : Behind Harris sat Hillary Clinton, whom Trump also kept from becoming the first woman president and breaking the hardest, highest ceiling in American politics.
46% : Haiyun Jiang/Pool/Getty Images Trump and Pence shake hands before the funeral.
45% : " All eyes were on Trump But not even death can quell political ill will.
45% : A state funeral is a gathering of the Washington clans, a convocation of the very establishment that Trump has pledged to destroy in his second term.
41% : Only a few months ago, at the Democratic National Convention, he lampooned Trump as a "78-year-old billionaire who hasn't stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago."
39% : Obama got what his fellow presidents might consider the short straw -- the spot next to Trump.
39% : " It would be hard to apply two-thirds of that epigram to Trump after his first term.
38% : The former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady was with her husband Bill Clinton, now the last living president of the 20th century.
38% : He was the uneasiest member of the ex-president's club apart from Trump.
35% : Young, Carter's former ambassador to the United Nations, read from scripture to end a service that must have been especially poignant for the former presidents, who, in a macabre sense, were getting a preview of their own funerals.
33% : Jabs at Trump were less overt than those aimed toward him at former Arizona Sen. John McCain's funeral in 2018.
33% : The living president who was closest to Carter was Biden, who endorsed his 1976 presidential run as a young senator and who has delivered veiled rebukes to Trump in his last weeks in power.
27% : Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Carter's casket was carried to the front of the cathedral as the Rev. Andrew Young, former US ambassador to the United Nations, read from scripture.
23% : He lambasted "the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes" and compared Trump to a neighbor who runs his leaf blower outside your window.
20% : A poignant meeting between Gore and Pence Behind the presidents were the vice presidents, Dan Quayle, Al Gore and Mike Pence, who greeted Trump with a stilted handshake that was a legacy of their split when the once-and-future president tried to steal the 2020 election.
19% : Behind Biden, and just to the left, was Trump, who effectively ended his career in their sole debate, which exposed the president's diminished capacity.
11% : After all, Trump rose to power with a racist and false conspiracy about Obama's birthplace, and he still casts aspersions on the 44th president's nationality and faith by pointing out his middle name is Hussein at rallies.
10% : There was one notable absence from the ranks of the first families: Michelle Obama, who may find public magnanimity more difficult than her husband and branded Trump a misogynistic racist in her own Democratic convention speech.
9% : Obama sees Trump as the antithesis of everything for which America stands.
