ANALYSIS/OPINION:
President-elect Donald Trump would be best served by selecting a secretary of State who understands the national security challenges our country faces, can literally “hit the ground running,” has a proven track record of successful negotiations, and most importantly, not only protects but projects the greatest attributes about America’s ideals of freedom and democracy. Remember that President Obama spent the first part of his administration on an apology tour. His disdain for American leadership in the world was communicated aboard and broadly.

Guiliani, Romney, Petreaus, Bolton.
Any one of which would be an immense improvement over Kerry and Hillary.
Uh, no thanks.
No more neocons. No more nation-building. No more Bushies.
Another golden Reagan man who is still valuable and deserves this post.
What’s wrong with Bolton?
I view Condi as the “bushy”, not Bolton.
If Bolton prevailed, he would have done a great deal of swamp cleaning at State. Condi was initially good, but petered out.
Pick the man with the bald head.
Washington Times decides now?
I’d pick Bolton.
Trump would do well to keep all of these "neo-con" globalists out of his cabinet. Bolton has never met a foreign military campaign he didn't want someone else to fight.
With 3 contenders, the media has to get data on ALL 3 and it has to be up to date to have available for the Sunday shows.
This is like playing with their head and they're walking around with their mouths open cuz they don't know what to say cuz they don't know who it will be.
I do love it that everyone keeps everything close to their chest.
Waiting on TWITTER!!
I have no problem with Bolton. He has a good grasp on Islam.
I agree.
I like the trademark Bolton bluntness and plainspoken manner of speaking, but I hear he still believes in ‘exporting democracy’ into other nations. That concept did not work at all in Iraq. We have been involved in a very long ‘war’ in that region ever since Bush 1. Even now, nothing seems resolved. We will declare the mission won, then a few weeks or months later, ISIS or Hama returns, sometimes at the citizen’s own behest. That who region is nothing but Quagmire
material for us.
Bolton is perfect compared
to the lying RomneyCARE statist backstabber.
"Good grasp on Islam," my @ss.
No, you need to summarize what you have against him. Everything I’ve seen and heard from him has been spot-on golden, from when he was Reagan’s’ UN representative to now, through the Trump campaign.
There are few things Trump can do to damage his credibility more badly than nominating a globalist retread like this to the Secretary of State post.
