David Dayen argues in the American Prospect that Republican distancing from Trump's policies with 40 days to election is contrived, after two years of near-total party alignment, driven by fear of voter accountability rather than principle.
“Only when accountability from the voters is imminent have we seen the emergence of "independent" thought and behavior—that is, evasive action induced solely by panicked self-interest”
