This is like Ted Cruz suddenly looking like he has scruples. Now the angriest terrier in the litter is going to the left of Trump on this?

Itā€™s Looking Glass World for real.

Shouldnā€™t the headline have just been, ā€œJohn Bolton disturbed?ā€ Because he is.

Having Bolton criticize the Trumper might make me re-think my premises. Well, no.

Yeahā€¦reason #20,672 to hate Trump. He puts you on the same side with people like Bolton.

But this is why that interview is going to be so incredibly damaging. It rejects the entire ā€œthird legā€ of the three legs of the GOP power base. As well as the basic premises of our entire foreign policy for over 70 years.

Unless you are going to vote for Trump, you are not on the same side as him.

Holy Christ! If a neo-conservative hawk like Bolton, whom I consider a complete idiot, is worried about Donald ā€œthe draft dodging coward and asshole loserā€ Trumpā€™s foreign policy blatherings, you know the Republicans are in deep shit.

After reading several articles on this whole NATO thing, I have a question:

Make good on their obligations to US?? As in, these nations owe the money to the United States government? Isnā€™t NATO a free-standing organization that has its own financial branch to which all member nations pay?? So DT is deliberately mis-directing his minions as to how this works, just like he is doing with federal employees, judges, and pretty much the entire 12th article of the Constitution???

Folks, we gotta stop this madnessā€¦

Now Iā€™ve seen everything.

Itā€™s time for GOPā€™ers to endorse HRC.

No, it just means that Trump neither knows nor cares how NATO works.

Dubya: I have seen Putinā€™s Eyes and I trust him. No worries.

Exactly. He also neither knows nor cares about our constitutional requirement to honor our treaties. They become part of the constitution once they are ratified.

So I hope that whoever advised Mr. Trump on this rethinks it." You stupid sh-t, didnā€™t you hear or read Trumpā€™s response when asked who his advisers were? On foreign policy matters, Trump said he "consults with myself because I have a very good brain and Iā€™ve said a lot of things.ā€ Donā€™t you know anything at all, Strangelove, I mean Bolton, you chickenhawk?

Bolton told the Florida delegates that Trumpā€™s comment ā€œdoesnā€™t change my mind that Iā€™m going to vote for Donald Trump.ā€

Of course not.

GOP Think: Better WWIII than Hillary.

I was actually talking to a friend earlier this morning, that when John Bolton said ridiculous things, at least he had a solid grasp on actual facts and things that have really happened. Then Bolton says this.

But heā€™s still voting for Trump because of course.

Even the wackiest of the neo-con hawks are starting to realize what a destabilizing force a Trump presidency would actually be internatonally, and that what they consider the ā€œfeckless, weak, leading from behindā€ policies of the Obama administration are far preferable to the blustering isolationism that Trump continuously supports.

m.p., It was that time a year ago. Only the ones with a semblance of a mind and a GENUINE CONCERN FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA do that, the ones who put America first have done that. The ones that put the Republican Party first or the NRA first or the religious kooks first,etc would never think of doing such a thing.

Can you imagine this type of level-headed response from Bolten if Hillary or Obama had said that?
