“Just wondering what makes a murder into an assassination?”
I would say that assassination is because of what you are - president, leader of some organization, a symbol of something. It requires you to have some power.
Murder is more personal.
If you kill a guy because he’s the leader of a country, it’s an assassination. If you kill the same guy because he’s doing your wife, it’s murder.
“....A WRITE IN PRESIDENTAL VOTE FOR JOHN BOLTON
DEMOCRATS FEAR HIM....”
John Bolton is far more qualified for a wartime presidency than any other public figure in America today. There’s no close second to Bolton. (And, for the record: half the Republicans fear him too.)
