It looks like we have a HUGE difference of opinion here in FR on John Bolton.
Many folks in this thread like him, however, on this FR, thread:

He is DISLIKED.
He is disliked by many because they see him as a neocon. I’m not sure that he is really a neocon. I see him as a firebrand. Someone who is ruthless in pursuit of and the protection of American interests but that doesn’t mean he wants to nuke the world.
And just to be clear, I did not want to see him as SoS, but the deputy in charge of running the day to day activities is another story. Foggy Bottom is a swamp all of it’s own and it NEEDS to be drained and I think Bolton is the guy to do it.
