A new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds a sharp rise in the percentage of Trump voters who do not think the U.S. bears responsibility to do anything about the fighting in Syria. Apparently, President Trump’s pullout -- which has created an unfolding disaster there, including the threat of a reconstituted Islamic State -- may be driving Trump voters away from any sense of responsibility for that region.
Which raises a question: What will happen to the GOP in the After Trump era? Will it become a more nationalist party, along the lines of the “America first” vision that Trump has been articulating and implementing -- to mostly disastrous effect?
Back in April 2018, this poll found that only 38 percent of Trump voters said the U.S. had no responsibility to do anything about the fighting in Syria, while 30 percent said it did.

Ominous? To whom? Uniparty warmongers who’ve never met a pointless conflict in some shithole region where they weren’t willing to sacrifice our children and treasure, I suppose ...
Syria is 1000% Obama’s mess. He wanted to oust Assad and make it a radical Muslim nation. Assad is basically Putin’s blood-brother. How stupid can you be.
Imagine Putin tried to oust Netanyahu and make Israel a radical Islamic nation. We would go to war. That is exactly what O’Dumbass did to Putin. Idiot. Moron. Jackass.
We were supposed to be there 1 month. 10 years is enough. I agree with Trump. We are not the world’s police and do not belong in endless wars.
You are damn right I am with the best US president since Truman if not Jefferson.
Well, it has never been done before, so I can imagine their confusion.
Nice observation. You are 100% correct, sir. Good call. I had completely missed that fact.
Diaster? We have a cease fire! Lying neocon scum.
Obama and Hillary fomented and supported the civil war in Syrian just like they instigated the Arab Spring. Not only should we pull out of Syria, we should turn both of them over to an international tribunal for prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Declare war or stfu
None of these tampon faced men have ever fought anything in their lives except hair loss
Preach it warrior
I mean look at Adam Schiff or Max Boot...
Neither has ever fought anything period
I bet Schiff’s wife can whip his ass
That is rational. What is incredibly irrational is the Leftist boomers, who were the “Anti War” protestors from the Vietnam era are now rabid war mongers
More bloodshed so we can guarantee oil and gas to Europe?
Not any more!
Let them do it!
Mr. Sargent is free to buy himself a rifle and a plane ticket any time he likes. I’m sure the Kurds would love his help.
L
Repeat after me Wapo assholes “97% Support!” Now go and hold Comey’s hand to make him feel better.
Not any more!
Let them do it!
US will send mechanized units to Syria’s oil fields, Esper says
Ominous for whom? I am GLAD we are not staying. Now on to Afghanistan. We can leave there any time now, IMHO.
do not think the U.S. bears responsibility to do anything about the fighting in Syria,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I never did.
We never had any business going into Syria before Trump ever even announced.
Unless the neocons want to take on Syria, Turkey Iraq and Iran to carve out a Kurdistan there is no reason to be there.
Obama and Hillary fomented and supported the civil war in Syrian just like they instigated the Arab Spring.

They had the support of McCain, Graham and Rubio for all of it.
Remember years ago when working in Germany. The Kurdish PKK was a banned terrorist group. Pretty much hard-core communists...
One of the reasons I voted for Trump is that he promised to get us out of the Middle East.
Another promise kept!
Mideast wars for other countries.
Never again.
WaPo is suddenly pro war.
