'What Do You Do When a Criminally Minded Person Is President?'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : And we do have this legislation -- the independent counsel law, the Ethics in Government Act -- which is a huge improvement over what we have now.
48% : Citizens shouldn't give Trump, or this Supreme Court, the final word on the meaning of the Constitution.
37% : I don't see Biden coming close to the kind of violation of those fundamental core pillars as the presidents that I'm profiling or that Trump exhibits.
34% : But I don't know what it is that he's doing that's the equivalent of [Trump].
31% : Bill Clinton began office by praising the prosecutor law, the Ethics in Government Act, but when he faced his own investigation at the hands of Ken Starr -- just or unjust -- he destroyed the institution.
30% : The authoritarianism of Trump is found in the specifics.
29% : The idea that a president could shut down free speech, even though Trump is promising to do it, there's a wide understanding that that's a violation of our First Amendment.
21% : And that's what Trump is threatening to do.
19% : Trump certainly has his nomination locked up.
18% : Do you think Joe Biden has been, or has tried to be, a "recovery" president? I would say it's certainly an absence of the kind of threat that we were facing with Trump.
13% : In the Nixon case, I think his view is Nixon didn't fight hard enough -- that if he had really threatened to not back down in the case of impeachment, as Trump did, he would've survived and he would've seen how powerful the office is.
6% : When Trump started out, I wrote a piece for POLITICO Magazine called Trump versus the Constitution, and it was all about how much Trump's proposals contrast with the requirements of our Constitution.
