A lot of conservative Republicans loved the hard line tactics when John Bolton was the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Almost none of these Republicans realize that Ambassador Bolton was one of the original Never Trumpers and part of the NeoCons from President George W. Bush's administration. Even though that was almost 20 years ago the real story began several years before that. When Donald Trump got elected he made the Democrats lose their minds but he also brought out a large number of Republicans who wanted him to fail. They became the Never Trumpers, as in " Trump is not my president ". Each and every one of them began to betray the best president America ever had. Today, John Bolton has sought revenge for being removed from the White House as National Security Advisor. He wrote a book supposedly revealing damaging evidence about President Donald Trump and conveniently his book was leaked to The New York Times and has a passage concerning that is central to the Democrat's impeachment charges that is an absolute lie.
The Project for the New American Century
If you want to know where we’re heading it helps to know where we started from, and how we got here, today. Often, the people who are not on your side will provide you with lots of information just because they feel like boasting about it. Remember Carroll Quigley and his monumental 1400-page expose, Tragedy and Hope, A history of the world in our time?
Take for instance, The Project for the New American Century. The secret organization was founded in 1996 by 25 people, most of whom would later become part of President George W. Bush’s inner circle and would be known today as Never Trumpers. While they called themselves NeoCons we would call them RINOs.
Wikipedia has some of their important story.

<snip>In 1998, Kristol and Kagan advocated regime change in Iraq throughout the Iraq disarmament process through articles that were published in the New York Times.[22][23] Following perceived Iraqi unwillingness to co-operate with UN weapons inspections, core members of the PNAC including Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, R. James Woolsey, Elliot Abrams, Donald Rumsfeld, Robert Zoellick, and John Bolton were among the signatories of an open letter initiated by the PNAC to President Bill Clinton calling for the removal of Saddam Hussein.</snip>
Nine months after the inauguration of George W. Bush the Royal family of Saudi Arabia financed the hijacking of 4 airliners and the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9-11-2001. Bush was caught off guard and desperate to appear on top of the events so the plan for a regime change in Iraq was dusted off and put into action for the sake of making his administration look good. The rest is history. Bush blamed the wrong country for the attack and thousands of American soldiers lost their lives invading Iraq.
