    Romney admitted on CNN that the Syria withdrawal/Mattis resignation was the "precipitating event" for his heroic op-ed. He and other likeminded GOP elites may dress up their complaints about Trump as "character"-related, but the underlying issue has always been the foreign policy

        Trump's critics are channeling their military contractor donors when they complain about Trump.

        I don’t think the base objection is about policy at all. It’s that an outsider grabbed the brass ring in THEIR profession. He must be punished! His voters must be punished! This must never be allowed to happen again!

        Reality is that we didn't vote for McCain, Romney or Clinton because they were Al pro-war, and all typical career politicians with scripted speeches and inflated egos. After Obama & Trump, its obvious Americans don't care about these dinosaurs policies anymore

        It isn't just Trump's style that they object to. It's also that Trump may (I underscore may) try and significantly dismantle the U.S. empire. I mean, is that what's goin' on???

        Nope. It’s about the global Cabal that has no allegiance to any citizen of any country 😡. It is about global power and control. In that world will be the very elite and wealthy and poor workers that serve them. This is not the principles that America was founded on.

        Foreign policy may certainly be the driving force for Republicans like Romney (and other war hawks), but Trump's horrific character does matter. Or, at least it should.

        Perhaps Romney cares about democracy and has been paying close attention to Trump's foreign policy pronouncements (unlike many of his non-Russian supporters). Trump has not made the world safer and has undermined democratic allies. On China, he needs to stop US firms sharing tech

        It's bizarre that what is essentially an illegal occupation has so many so-called "conservatives" up in arms. No Congressional approval for troops on the ground in Syria. No UN mandate. No invite from Syria.

        And the focus on Main Street over Wall Street. They don’t like that much either. And then there is an aesthetic aspect to it. The character thing is default because no one argues for Trump’s character. Easy way to get cheap momentum for other positions.
