From my reading, they seem less full throated than previous. Do you think this signals a cooling? Or just the candidates playing it coy? Do you think it will it matter in the primaries?

I suspect they are trying to have it both ways so to speak. Call out Biden and how it’s a “witch hunt”, and quietly increase support without criticising Trump directly. Because if they do attack Trump, they know his supporters in the primaries will turn on them.
Yeah, I think you’ve got it pretty much right. “We support him but not so much that Republican primary voters can turn on us if they turn out to dislike this particular set of crimes. But we won’t criticize him per se…”
