I didn't get that for this article, but it does appear he is pulling back from the wack-job fringe like Alex Jones. I bet Breitbart will see Bannon come back within the month. American flirtation with Nationalism may be on the wane.

Additionally, the strongest support in this article were from real conservatives.

I do think this was the right move to make, for now/

There are no "great moves" to be made, and I'm among Trumps biggest naysayers here, but if we had to respond to the gas attack and we did, this was a good option.

Good option? In what way exactly? How about finding out exactly what happened first, before just attacking Syria? Honestly, I don't think America is in any position to lecture anyone about killing civilians.

Opening up the can of worms in Syria to a possible war

Being against or uneasy about military action is a rational adult feeling. The action came with out deliberation or discussion in congress or the public. It does not label or slot you into a party or a camp.  

What is notable here is as late as last week the White House was using language that affirmed Assad as someone we could work with and we would let the Russians have their way in the region.  This is a serious break from prior Trump rhetoric. ( We cant say policy because we have not seen policy on Syria).  

 

Outside of our politics and issues with Russia/ Iran, There is a broader moral question about the action the International community should be taking now that Assad has gassed his people ( again) after the Russians certified the original stock pile was destroyed.   I was deeply disappointed in  Obama for not taking strident action the first time Assad crossed the "redline"  We cannot tolerate the use of Nerve agents and we cannot let those tools fall into the wrong hands ( ISIS)

For me I think that it's the thought that we could go to war a la Iraq.  This would be the first real war I've been in the USA for.  It's scary to me.  A lot of people I know are disappointed as they didn't think that Trump was a war guy, personally there was never any doubt in my mind.
