I hope you’re wrong. The one problem I see with President Trump is that he will speak his mind. You’ll probably agree when I want to tell North Korea to f*** off or get nuked, but that’s not the best way to deal with them.
An opponent should always know that we will fight to the death, but there should be a way out.
Giuliani will be the next Sec of State.
Rand Paul, auditioning for a padded cell between Glenn Beck and Nancy Pelosi.
I will make no predictions about any of these positions, but the rumor I’ve heard is that Giuliani and Sessions were the two people who can pretty much have any senior administration post they want.
I would certainly hope not. With his record of firearms confiscation while mayor of NYC, he would probably just love, love, LOVE to sign on to things like the UN Small Arms treaty.
Bolton was formerly involved with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Federalist Society, National Policy Forum, National Advisory Board, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, New Atlantic Initiative, Project on Transitional Democracies. - Wikipedia
Given a choice, I’d rather a dog that had to be kept on a tight leash or he chew the ass outa folks than a dog that whimpered at the least fright.
It appears that Bolton would need a tight, tight leash.
It wasn’t Rand Paul who kept us out of the Law of the Sea Treaty. It is due in large part to Bolton’s vociferous rejection of that. All the Bushies wanted it. All the dems still want it.
That POS was more harmful than destabilizing the ME. Bolton has a solid career. His views on the UN are spot on.
If Bolton fits someplace, he’ll be asked to do it - if not, he won’t ... since when is betraying Rand Paul the same as betraying the voters?
Beats the hell out of Kerry, Clinton, or Condi, that’s for damn sure.
Rand Paul’s 15 minutes are up!
He opposed it and said so.
It never made it to the Senate. Bolton helped kill it, at least twice.
Bolton was a staunch supporter of Israel and a thorn in the side of the U.N. for the entire time he was there.
He’s a good man.
I support him fully.
I probably received more sensible mailings from Bolton than any other. Also he repeatedly asked for funds to do those conservative things.
Even at the cost of shattering the political coalition that put Trump into office, before he even gets sworn in?
He signed a letter opposing it, along with a number of other senators. Paul and Bolton were on the same side with regard to LOST.

I agree.
