'Never Trump' national security experts react to his win: 'I'm totally f---ing horrified'
Despite the initial shock of a Trump win among so-called Never Trump Republican national-security experts, some were expressing hope for what could happen next, though even that was somewhat tepid.
"Our job is not to pretend that he didn’t win or not to say that we aren’t going to help him, because he is our president," Auslin said. "A lot of people that wrestled with whether or not to support Trump during the primaries and the campaign ... the calculation changes once he’s the president."
Auslin wouldn't say whom he voted for in the election, but he did say that he would think about serving in a Trump administration if he were asked.
"I would very seriously consider a request to serve in the Trump administration," Auslin said, because "at some point politics ends and policy begins. It’s up to Trump himself to make that transition from politics to policy."
