Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : In the second hour, CNN Vice President of Political & Special Events Mark Preston also whining about Trump being there (as opposed to verbal silence from Biden and Harris): "[w]e are seeing the campaign now play out in just about every corner of the nation.:"Now what happened is that some of his campaign team showed up with cameras video equipment, and that is not allowed in Arlington National Cemetery.
38% : Treene, of course, put the onus on Trump for making this partisan:I do think the big takeaway is that this was a moment that, of course, Donald Trump's -- they recognize was a solemn moment.
29% : Was the Trump team taking pictures where it should not be?In the second, he reminded viewers of it being "hallowed ground" that Trump interferred with.
28% : No, instead of calling out the President or Vice President for refusing to say their names or call the grieving families, they disgustingly touted anonymous sources from Arlington National Cemetery that Trump desecrated and maimed the hallowed ground by going with his campaign staff.
19% : Berman then pivoted to Harris-Walz spokesman Michael Tyler and a classroom globe-sized softball inviting him to attack Trump with predictable smears, including the dubious "suckers and losers" tall tale.
16% : Nothing about how his boss Kamala Harris and former boss Joe Biden resorted to paper statements through spokespeople and not, say, reach out to the families or, heck, join Trump at Arlington (click "expand")BERMAN:
