If you actually look at their differences - Bolton wanted to be aggressive and send more troops into Afghanistan - Trump wanted to pull troops out. Bolton wanted to be aggressive with China - Trump wanted to sit down at the table and try and work things out.

You all kept saying Trump would get us into a 3rd WW and if anything - his actions show just the opposite. Bolton was the guy who wanted the US to bully the world.
Is that why Trump said "He was holding me back!" and "in some cases, he thought it was too tough what we were doing" and trying to make himself look even more hawkish than Bolton?

what a misleading thread title, the Tulsa ticket requests indicate interest in Trump is obviously still very high.

How certain were you on October 18th 2016?
Because Hillary led by 7.1 in the RealClearPolitics national average....
We are in June, so is there any way to predict an election this early?

There have been 20 books like this, and they never move the needle.
This one might be even less significant than others, because Bolton is not respected by either side, and he's releasing it close to an election and that means its sole purpose is to slander Trump.
Its an exercise in creative writing, and everybody knows that.
BTW, Pompeo has asked Bolton to submit the note (that Bolton claims Pompeo passed to him)....

Keep telling yourself that, but it doesn't make it true. The more he opens his mouth the more voters he loses.

Actually Trump's approval rating was a lot higher during the daily coronavirus briefings.
So the more Trump talks, the better he does (according to the polls).

Anyway, Trump hasn't lost any voters yet.
Unless you think media polls are voters....
Remember Hillary led Wisconsin by 6.5 on November 7th in the RealClearPolitics polling average, and she lost it.

I'm pretty sure he's going to be reelected if my Dem friends are any indication. Two aren't voting at all and one is open to Trump only because of what's happening in the country today and the fact that he thinks Biden won't last 6 months.

He’s lost some. Some have died.

More white non-college voters have died since 2016 than Trump's winning margins in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. White non-college represents the majority of Trump supporters and they are the oldest demo bloc in the country, far older than white college, or any minority group.

Without expansion of the Trump base, time isn’t on its side.

I'm certain Trump will get more Black voters this time.....because he reformed the federal prison system with The First Step Act, provided more than $250 million a year to the nation’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCU), signed an executive order on law enforcement reform that said "chokeholds will be banned except if an officer’s life is at risk" among other amendments to police conduct, nominated the first ever African-American woman for promotion to General in the U.S. Marine Corps, Col. Lorna M. Mahlock, and nominated the first ever African-American for promotion to Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr.

Bolton admits to being a liar. I'm tired of posting the vid. Look it up yourself.

Now he's trying to sell a book during an election year. Trust what a self admitted (on video) liar says.
