Thus, it seems to me that even his decision to switch was putting country and service over party.

Maybe Service, but not country. At best, what is best for the country is in the eyes of the beholder. You have a right to disagree with me as to what is best, but I honestly believe that if Barack Obama had done what Donald Trump has, he would have been removed from office. And rightfully so.
Choosing your political livelihood over your own views is just sad. As I and others have said , he does not vote in line with Republicans, there are at least 20 Democrats to the right of him on votes. And clearly based on previous statements , he has ideological disagreements with Trump.
As for country itself, he hasnt stated his opinion on trumps actions, but I would guess he doesnt support them.
