How about John Bolton for Sec State under President Trump or Cruz?

I love the idea, but would a RINO Senate actually confirm him? (remember Bush had to recess appoint him due to Senate opposition from some RINOs.)

That is one reason I prefer Trump to Cruz. Trump is more likely to have his way with an opposition Republican Senate. Make no mistake- the Republicans in Congress, if they are, indeed still a majority, will fight a Conservative President bitterly. Then again, I am not confident that Republicans will retain a majority in either house, anyway. Most of them- almost all of the Senators- have shown themselves totally unworthy of re-election. Conservatives may vote for ostensibly conservative new blood just because they are not nominally Democrats but there will be no enthusiasm, even for new conservative, because voters understand that conservative candidates become Chamber of Commerce Democrats as soon as they take their seats.
