Because of his pro-fag agenda, boys are going to get assraped.

you’re OK with that?

I’m not.

Fine...reject Rex and install Bolton.

And don’t give me any of that Neo-con crap coming from Rand Paul.

The nevertrumpers won’t go away. Some have even argued Trump wants them to be the opposition because that takes away from the Democrat opposition

RE: Yeah, John Kerry and Hillary are the gold standard for SOS. End of discussion.

Never said that either. But hey, we can do better in this country of 320 million.

Bolton would have been a far better choice. No crony globalist baggage and he can actually find the bathroom at Foggy Bottom.

RE: End of discussion.

I don’t understand why an expression of concern has to be associated with being a NeverTrumper.

As with all things political, I would ask if the opposite party would support a guy with the same creds if nominated.

So if a Obama appointed a dude who helped and supported normalizing homosexuality into the BSA would FR or the GOP support it?

Yep, he just gave it a hard kick in the back to ensure such a demise.

I didn’t know you were on the committee to vet Trump’s choices. I’m not, so please pass on to the committee that I’m pretty happy so far with all the choices.

BTW, I haven’t claimed to be conservative since last year when so many insisted that if I were truly conservative I would vote Cruz. Now I just claim to be American.

People have every right to ask questions. My problem is with the emotional responses. Oh, this is such a terrible pick! Oh, picking Puzder proves that Trump wants to bring in illegals! Etc

Maybe Trump is making a mistake, maybe it is hard to understand but he has a plan and we can evaluate him on what he said he wants to do. He wants to talk to Taiwan, move the Israel embassy, end regime change...he’s not getting those ideas from crony globalists.

As a Citizen, I want to be VIGILANT. I don’t need to be in an official committee to VET someone and report what was discovered to others.

If you’re happy with this particular pick despite his background, I have nothing else to say to you.

Add to that the fact that Tillerson himself is an Eagle Scout, as am I. I don’t like the idea of gay scoutmasters anymore than I like the idea of male Girl Scout leaders; bad idea, bad chemistry.

I haven’t been involved in scouting since I graduated from high school, but if scouting is in any way similar to what it was when I was young (I belonged to packs and troops officially sponsored by the US Air Force, which is no longer allowed by DoD), scouting is a good influence on any young man - gay or otherwise - and I strongly suspect that there were gay (we didn’t use that word then) young men in a few of my troops. Beyond that regarding scouting, see my first comment.

Finally, if anyone believes that Trump is going to find any nominee, for any cabinet position, that is not objectionable to someone for some reason, he is going to have a two-man administration.

FR is a conservative site. If Trump suddenly decides that abortion is the American thing to do, we’re not just going to be sycophants and respond “well, he’s still better than Obama”

Trust but verify

Seems like you’re the only person on the thread whining about Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz... living rent free in MNJohnnie’s head since 2016!

Imagine what’s going to happen to America now that the government is one big lobby group for Exxon.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I imagine that it will be a whole lot better than being one big lobby group for Saudi, muslim brotherhood, and the xlintonista foundation.

Why did you vote for Trump if you think he is going to do a 180 on his stated positions?

Modern Scouting has become nothing more than a giant fund-raising racket, which is why the former CEO of Exxon/Mobil was the president in the first place.

On Sunday I stopped into a convenience store and a kid was outside selling pop corn. I asked what the cause was and he said "scouting!" and held up his uniform. He heartily suggested I get the $10 caramel corn. I told him that it was outrageously expensive for a small bag of caramel corn but that I would buy it because I appreciated his initiative and his involvement in scouts. I know all the PC stuff makes headlines but I also know participating in scouting does good things for lots of boys.
