John Bolton Hints at 2024 Presidential Bid Against Donald Trump
[Red State] Former United States National Security Advisor John Bolton indicated on Monday that he might run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Mr. Bolton is not a politician any more than Evan McMullin. What is he hoping to accomplish?
Bolton said on "Meet the Press Now" on NBC News that former President Donald Trump’s comments about the "termination" of the Constitution should be a sign that he would not get re-elected.

"I’d like to see Shermanesque statements from all the potential candidates," he said. "If I don’t see that, then I’m going to seriously consider getting in."

The full statement from Trump had to do with the 2020 election, as RedState reported:

"A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great ’Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!"

Bolton added an announcement would have to be right around the corner if other candidates do not jump in soon to run against the former president. Several politicians such as former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have clearly expressed interest, and many polls have shown Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to be performing well against Trump as well.

#1 Mr. Bolton is not a politician any more than Evan McMullin. What is he hoping to accomplish?

Ego, a false sense of renewed relevance, financial ?

#4 I have thought since his days at the Department of State that Bolton had a screw loose.

#10 I could be wrong but "Go to war with everyone!" is not really the kind of campaign slogan that will sell these days.

#12 There was a point where we liked him because the Left hated him. He should be set a-sail on the same boat with the Romney and Bush families. Put them all aboard before the da it’s are lowered. Make sure the Bosun pockets the bilge plugs.
