‘I cannot vote for him again’

[Tranquillus in Exile]

“In 2016 I voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton. Now, having seen this president up close, I cannot do this again. My concern is for the country, and he does not represent the Republican cause that I want to back.”

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Telegraph prior to publication of his scathing book on the Trump presidency, John Bolton said he was not betraying his Republican roots by refusing to vote for Mr Trump, because he did not believe that America's 45th president represented the party’s cause.

“The president does not have a philosophical grounding or strategy. He does not know the difference between the national interest and the interests of Donald Trump … which is very dangerous for the country.

“He came in with very little personal knowledge of how government worked, and he had no interest in learning. I was concerned after 17 months in the administration that he did not have the requisite competence to be president, and the American people need to know about that.

“I wanted to lay the facts out on key foreign policy and domestic issues and let the American people decide for themselves. I want to put this in front of them so they can see what was really going on. This is a history of how not to be president.”

So Bolton belatedly joins his former bosses Bush41 and Bush43, neither of whom voted for Trump in 2016.

Bolton is a neocon warmonger of the lowest order. Suddenly he is believed and beloved.

Good on Bolton.

[Nordberg]

Bolton is beloved by who? He is getting hammered from both sides. He did not testify in the impeachment and wrote a book that addressed all the problems the house was investigating. The Dems have little use for the neocon warmonger. But he has real inside knowledge we would like to have. He monetized it instead. Trump is talking about to taking his book profits. Just Trump being Trump.

Trump hired him, and trump only hires the best.

That's right. Bolton is a good example of Trump's history of bad personnel choices.

Do you actually need John Bolton to tell you Trump is corrupt, incompetent, and stupid?

Or is he just corroborating what you already know to be true through Trump's actions, words, and deeds?

What are his good choices - Pompeo and Barr?

If those are his good ones ...

He's not "beloved." What's amazing is that Bolton, a Trump lap dog, is speaking out against him. It would be like Rush Limbaugh suddenly becoming critical of Trump--though not quite, because Bolton, unlike Limbaugh, was part of Trump's inner circle.

Are you kidding? He's a POS. I was horrified when the Toadstool picked him, glad when he left, and still remain fucking pissed that this greedy treasonous weasel wouldn't testify during the impeachment. Money was more important than this nation. He can take his vote for Biden and choke on it.

But it won't be a vote for Trump.

That's about all you can say!

[jimmymccready]

That's all that matters right now.

Later we can work against neo-con and far left progs.
