ANY outsider brought into the administration will be considered a threat to the crony establishment.
That is the only reason for the push back.

The independently wealthy business and military candidates have no need for the pork and special interest or minority BS.

In corporate America whenever there is something to be fixed they will always bring in outsiders in the form of consulting firms or non-in house candidates. The main advantage of the outsider? They do not know why things have to be the way they are....they have no need for things to remain the way they are if in fact there is no value added.

Outsiders bring the fear of GOD into any political arena. And that is exactly what we are witnessing with Trump and his choices for running the government.
