Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : It was very hard to know just what principles Hegseth would stand on, other than following the orders of Trump.
29% : I remember the Illinois Democrat's line when he was first nominated: "Where does he think I lost my legs, in a bar fight?"David: One broader question: It seemed to me that this hearing revealed how ill-prepared the Democrats are for containing and rebutting Trump's MAGA doctrines.
