Republicans opposing dictator Trump might be a rare occurrence, but not an impossibility. At least that is what recent events suggest.
In a surprising turn of events, on two occasions, several Republicans defied their party to advocate for what is right. After five Republicans sided with the Democrats to support a bill that would reverse Trump’s tariff policies on Brazil on Tuesday, four of them joined again on Wednesday to challenge his tariff policies on Canada. In the first instance, the Republicans who allied with the Democrats included Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul from Kentucky, Thom Tillis from North Carolina, Susan Collins from Maine, and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska. In the second instance, everyone except Senator Thom Tillis took part.
