Seriously, who is a more delusional Republican candidate...Bolton, Cheney, or Christie?

Former national security adviser John Bolton argued that the indictment of Donald Trump may ultimately help the former president politically, saying it could be "rocket fuel" that helps him secure the Republican nomination.
"I'm not worried about Alvin Bragg hurting Donald Trump. I'm worried about Alvin Bragg benefiting Donald Trump," Bolton said during a Sunday "Face the Nation" appearance on CBS. "If Trump is acquitted or he gets the case dismissed because it's not legally sufficient… that will be rocket fuel because he can say, ‘I told you this was a political prosecution.’"
Bolton, who served in the Trump administration for just over a year, made the comments just days after a grand jury in New York voted to indict the former president on charges believed to be related to alleged "hush money" payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign.
Trump is scheduled to be arraigned in the case in New York on Tuesday, with Bolton arguing the implications of a conviction or acquittal would be massive.
"I think he does have reason to be concerned about the substance of the case here," Bolton said. "I think while we're all obviously focused on the indictment, that's just the beginning. The real issue here is whether Alvin Bragg gets a conviction at some point in the near term, or whether Trump springs free, because the political implications are vasty different."
If Trump isn't convicted, Bolton said the former president will claim to be vindicated and be able to use that as ammunition on the campaign trail.

Bolton, who said he is still considering a run for president himself, argued the right thing for Trump to do would be to step aside and let another candidate carry the torch for the Republican Party in 2024.

Suenono, asshat hutch, neeki baily, Mike ‘keep digging’ pence, bonehead bolton...... Nope!
My vote for delusional lead star is Ass-ah Hutchinson, but dolton is certainly in the mix.
Bolton has been drinking a lot of the Washington DC Kool Aid, and doesn’t know that the DOG is supposed to be wagging the tail, and not the other way around.
You don’t have to like Trump but the idea that NeoCons are waiting to take total control of the party really seems unlikely.
Pro-Zelensky, neoocon hater of Trump, Bolton:
John Bolton: If Trump were still President, the Russians would be in Kyiv

Trump says otherwise.
One question John? Did you feel the same when you worked for Trump? Is this attitude newly founded or were you two-faced when you served in government? POS....
Bolton hates Trump because Trump doesn’t want to invade every single freakin country on earth..Trump made a mistake by picking this goon, they both had opposite agenda
Not content with being disgustingly fragrant feces that should have been flushed
decades ago, flatulent orator bolton is to ignorant to notice his irrelevancy.
Oh now that’s a hard one
Bolton: If you WW III vote for me.
I hate to agree with Bolton. This will help Trump win the nomination but will hurt him in the general election…. Which is exactly why the Dems are doing it.
Liberals arent the only people who accuse others of their own crimes.
“because he can say, ‘I told you this was a political prosecution.’”
It IS a political prosecution.
John Bolton, in his illusions against President Trump, is joining the agenda of the American Leftniks (my term for Soviet style Marxists) who are marching down the Santa Monica Pier (my image of the Heaven’s Gate disciples) to be taken up by the Mothership in the tail of the Hale Bob Comet. Now you know what’s behind my tag line and how John Bolton’s stupid revenge is falling for Leftnik illusions that will spell his political suicide.
If Trump isn’t convicted, Bolton said the former president will be vindicated and able to use that as ammunition on the campaign trail.
There, fixed it for you Mr.Bolton.
You forgot Pence
” A cancer on the Republican Party “ is someone who basks in the cameras of the Fake News Sunday shows.
Bolton should be happy. His pals at the Pentagon are engaged in perpetual, no-win wars.
