I listened to Rand Paul last night and basically he believe that Bolton and Giuliani both like war, don’t know how to control themselves, and won’t listen to the president if the president says he is in favor of peace through strength.

Paul likes Corker.

In my mind, Corker has given Iran the nuke and is a testament to “war through weakness”.

Rand is wrong. Peace through strength is the right course of action, and the issue of any nominee is whether or not that nominee will follow the guidance of the president.

Any interview process for a Trump cabinet member -- especially Secretary of State -- should include the following steps:

1. Have you ever served as a lobbyist for a foreign government or a corporation domiciled outside the U.S.? If YES, go to Step 4. If NO, go to Step 2.

2. Please list all non-profit organizations where you have either been employed or had an affiliation or leadership role as board member, advisor, etc.

3. Have any of the organizations you listed in Step 2 derived any income from foreign governments or from any corporations domiciled outside the U.S.? If YES, go to Step 4. If your answer is NO, please provide audited financial statements for every one of these organizations for the last 25 years, including an itemized list of all sources of income and revenue for each organization.

4. Please take a hike and find a job somewhere else. You may qualify for employment with the following organization:

The Clinton Family Foundation
c/o Hillary Rodham Clinton
United States Disciplinary Barracks
Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027

I suspect this will weed out a lot of sewage from the D.C. swamp.

Bolton is a war-o-con, especially in the MENA.

Bolton is a head feint. Trump is still several moves ahead of the so-called Press.

John Bolton more often stood with Hillary Clinton and against what Donald Trump has advised.

This clown Paul is long on accusations and short on specific examples. The most mindless position in in the political arena is criticizing, and claiming to know with certainty how things might have turned out different (and better) had his opinion prevailed.

What has he EVER opined in foreign affairs that he agreed with that turned out as "expected?" A list would be nice. Of course, after the fact allows Paul to pull a "Hillary," and "forget" all his prognostication failures.

Bottom line, I trust Bolton a LOT more than I trust Paul.
Finally, Bolton is still bound to adhere to Trump's leadership positions, and that of his numerous other advisers that touch on the defense and foreign relations arenas.

His affiliation with the Star Wars cantina scene denizens of this "neo-con" outfit should disqualify him from consideration even for White House janitor:

Bolton is more a Bush style neocon than anything else...He's been a Washington insider for too long, IMHO, to be a good pick for an admin. that promises to drain the swamp.

The question becomes - was Bolton towing the line for the person he worked for or was he representing his own views.

I totally agree.
Another doofus promoting the "good" in pursuit of perfection.

When Paul successfully runs for president, he can regale us with his special wisdom.

Trump should appoint Rand Paul as US Ambassador to the United Nations. With Milo Yiannopolis as his minder, speech-writer and press secretary. Milo is a Brit so he can’t be appointed as UN Ambassador, but Rand Paul would be a great figurehead and Paul lives on another planet anyway.

Bolton may have a lot of fans here on Free Republic, but we also have a lot of folks who have done the research to expose his background.

As self-serving a statement as I have ever seen.

Do bless us with the research you have done about all the other candidates for the position. Or do you just do research on people you don't like to begin with?

The non-stop fact free libel continues among those cowering in the corner over the mere possibility of having a man's man as Secretary of State.

At this point Rand Paul has unzipped and exposed himself as being every bit as much a delusional pantywaist as his old man. Rand should leave public life pronto and join old dad in a strait jacket at Happy Acres. Dad can teach him that silly grin that guarantees that no sane parent would let him babysit.

The Paul family's idea of national defense is paleoPaulie the Elder in a leaky rowboat wearing a tricorner hat with a propeller on top and paleoPaulie the younger providing one horse's ass power manning the oars.

John Bolton is and always has been a patriot as neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Insane Obozo nor anything nominated for POTUS by the Demonrats starting with Comrade George McGovern have ever been.

Neither Ron PaleoPaulie nor Rand PaleoPaulie are fit to shine Bolton's shoes or to serve in office. May they both go to hell in a handbasket ASAP. This nation does not rest on pacifist wimps. If it tries to, it will soon cease to be a nation.

If you are so anxious to reside in surrender sockmonkey nation, move to some sorry ass country that is eager to surrender as this one will never be.

Wanna join ISIS? They are hiring.

I start my research with the people whose names make my radar warnings sound loudly.

When I see another thread about a serious contender I'll post my input on that prospective nominee, too.

I don't want to see any PNAC hacks in this administration, if that's OK with you. The Bush administration completely discredited itself when it signed on to their agenda -- to the point where George W. Bush is less popular than a child molester in America today.

No, thanks. In a nation of 310 million people I'm sure Trump can do much better than this.

Rearm our military, stand tall and firm, and by doing so not have to fire a shot.
