How much of a game changer will the Bolton book release be?


or maybe I should ask WILL it be a game changer?

I'm talking about the naïve fence sitting voter who for whatever inexplicable reason still doesn't understand the implications of re electing the bastard as well as his GOP enablers in the Senate.

Those who still don't "get it".

The Bolton book well reveal intense detail of what was going on with the Ukraine situation, and all indications are it is even worse then even we imagined.

plus there will be more drip drip drip of documents and information yet to make it to the public realm.

Is there a sense there will finally be a freaking light bulb go off in the head of the fence sitter, thinking to themselves, wait, they did not allow THIS information to be presented at the impeachment? What the ever loving FUCK?

Might it tilt things in the right direction in November, both for the White House and Senate?

Somebody talk me off the ledge and tell me I'm not being overly optimistic.

Everyone else has one issue that will matter. They may never vote for a Democrat, but maybe they will just sit it out.

Not only are there some MF voters ready to die for him...they’re ready to kill for him too. Maybe they’ll be so blinded by hate and tRumpism that they will sit at home fuming rather than vote blue.

Moore's movie didnt keep Bush out of office.
Grab them by the P***Y didnt get trumpy out of office for the first time.

The people who believe Bolton, werent going to vote for trump anyway.

I dont see it having that big of a impact.

And, if there is still anyone in the world who is unsure about voting for or against Trump, they have other interests and may be unlikely to vote anyway.

The book will have less impact than a good GOTV campaign.

The book's title may cause a resurgence in interest in the musical "Hamilton".
