In an interview with Hugh Hewitt today, Donald Trump hinted that he is seriously considering John Bolton as Secretary State.
Bolton would be a very good choice, second only to Newt Gingrich, in my opinion.
In the audio, below, beginning around the 3:00 mark, The Donald makes this surprise announcement.
Trump was quick to point out that making the announcement too early subjects the candidate to an invasive media rectal exam, poking and probing to generate sensational news at the expense of the candidate, which is true. It is smart to make cabinet appointment announcements after the election.
Responding to Hewitt’s probing regarding naming Bolton as Secretary of State now, The Donald declared, “I think John Bolton’s a good man. I watched him yesterday, actually, and he was very good in defending me in some of my views, and very, very strong, and I’ve always liked John Bolton. Well, we are thinking about it, Hugh. I will say that. We are thinking about it. I mean, the negative is what I told you. But we are seriously thinking about it.”
What did Bolton do in the UN? It is stronger then ever. His job was to get the United States out of the UN. We are still there. We pay 80 percent of the operating expenses. That’s unacceptable!
Why does it always have to be the same old? Isn’t there any hard working, behind the scenes,but without a doubt pro-American, that most of us may have never heard of, or at least, didn’t think of?
Who? What? Penal colonies?
Only in the gubmint, do you get away with hiring useless, deadbeat, oxygen thieves, who's lack of critical thinking skills causes ruin.
“Hugh is a jerk”
DITTO! DITTO! DITTO!
I agree. She does, after all, have a great deal of experience. OK, so did Josef Stalin, but still...
“Yes, Bolton would be the perfect choice. I’d also like to see Ted Nugent as Secretary of the Interior. Most people don’t know of his passion for the outdoors. Plus there would be the additional benefit of seeing liberals going absolutely berserk.”
Palin for EPA. She can spend the year shutting it down.
I think the “negative” of talking about Bolton as a possible SoS is “that making the announcement too early subjects the candidate to an invasive media rectal exam, poking and probing to generate sensational news at the expense of the candidate.”
... and Dennis Miller as Press Secretary.
I think he’s the only choice for that position, myself. Everyone else is a far 2nd.
Do you think Bolton is a bad choice?
Dr. Carson for HHS or head of the VA.
I think the “sensational news” is how Trump spends $0 a month on any ads, while Hillary, with all media support, still spends $40 million, despite being close to each other in the polls.
I prefer K.T. McFarland. But Bolton would do fine.
Yeah; that Michael Bolton. Not the ass clown Michael Bolton.
I’ve been “channeling” the Donald to pick Bolton.....:)
Bolton! Bolton! He’s the man!
OH HE LISTENED TO ME YES I ALWAYS SAID BOLTON!
I would be over the moon with this pick!
