Also, at one point it seemed like 60 Minutes was starting to actually cover the administration. That they will no longer be doing that is a win for the administration, regardless of the ratings

I’m also curious how there can be more respondents who “would have sexual contact” than “have sexual feelings”? Like, I’m not really into it, but sure, I’d do it?

Yes, I always look askance at anyone who says (or used to say on Twitter) “Where’s our edit button?”
