Donald Trump could shoot John Bolton on Fifth Avenue and...

...not lose any conservative support.

Bolton, an ex-conservative hero, would be called a liberal traitor, as the angry mob dragged him thru the streets by his mustache.

Nobody crosses the Dear Leader.

To be honest, when I gamed this out in my head--Bolton coming forward--I never predicted Fox and other Republicans turning on Bolton. That seemed a bridge too far. Just goes to show they will do anything.

I mean...if Trump's weapon was loaded with blanks and Bolton's with live ammo, I wouldn't say anything. Would you?

Let him wimp out and run off crying or miss every shot. Bolton can chase him down and make it interesting.

The republicans' "values" seem to be fluid. They flow in any direction that Trump leads them. It is a sad case of when the blind follow the blind.
