He represents a big fight in the R Party. It's much less about his being the darling of the Dems, oh my!
Makes me wonder why the press is emphasizing Dems regarding Bolton. But I don't have to ponder long, do I?
The press loathes to talk about Republicans in disarray.

I mean I am pretty sure that if Trump wanted to conquer the middle east and had a clear plan for doing so he'd be all in favor of that - but this kind of "We are Isolationist, unless I can make a buck or political gain or maybe hurt political enemies" policy isn't what Bolton wants.
or that's my take anyway.

(46,166 posts)if they can point to Dems bleeding for their lead they go so far as to manufacture it. Even now when it's R's bloodletting the press still seek a Dem angle. We're shiny keys when the spotlight ought to be on the Republican 24/7.

(46,166 posts)I'd say that they're in the ranks of Republicans who left office voluntarily and the voters who supported them.
I doubt that Bolton stands alone. I guess you do. So be it.
