It would have been nice to see an actual debate about Christian nationalism and the damage that it is doing within our Synod than hear about both of their feelings and beliefs on gun control, Covid, etc.

I think why it kind of ended up meandering is that, to paraphrase a Latvian saying, Two Doctors of theology three views of What CN is.

Personally I would say the definition of a CN establishment (and therefore aim) would be that "Christianity is the political formula of a political community." If one is familiar with the term of the Elite Theorists, though even they do not explore what it entails, being too modernist to concede to it anything but the status of a noble lie.

The chart is an attempt to illustrate the extent of agreement or disagreement on specific items. Unfortunately, Datawrapper does not offer a split bar chart with a common axis, so this is the next best option, which is not all that helpful.
