Opinion | Might a silent majority be ready to move beyond Trump?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Unlike DeSantis, who ran, in the words of Iowa State University political scientist David Peterson, as "diet Trump," Haley realized there was a market for a Republican candidate who was stylistically different from Trump, could draw more middle-of-the-road voters in November and move the country past the "chaos" of the Trump era.
27% : "She avoided the Chris Christie message that Trump is unfit for office while at the same time making a case that it's time to move on."
8% : But unlike former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, whose frontal attacks on Trump endeared him to many Democrats and the relatively small constituency of anti-Trumpers in the party, Haley knew she couldn't ask Republicans who had voted for Trump twice to admit they were wrong.
