Yes, bad. Not as bad. Bolton can and will negotiate.
In my view, Flynn is at a very different level. The sort of guy who is so certain of his own side's virtue he will do anything, however wicked, in the name of his self-righteousness.
The same type that Bin Laden and Hitler were. The most dangerous level of human being.
Trump himself doesn't rise to that level. Witness his backing off on Obamacare. A narcissist, yes. But this tells you he's not quite a sociopath.
I used to think Americans could winnow the good from the bad. So that notion is now officially defunct. If Flynn runs, gawd help us.
