John Bolton would make a great SecState or SecDef but he lacks the charisma for an Executive post. I love the guy.

And there's the rub if you're a conservative. The libs have just about won the wussification of American men and the turning of American women into dithering, addle-brained school girls.

When charisma is put ahead of intelligence, right-mindedness and abilities, we have turned the presidency into a parody of a beauty contest with no regard for anything of real value.

I think the vast majority have stated that John Bolton would be an excellent Secretary of State!

I also like him very much. This man has more common sense in his little finger than all the liberals and Obama combined.

‘And there’s the rub if you’re a conservative. The libs have just about won the wussification of American men and the turning of American women into dithering, addle-brained school girls.

You misunderstood my point. I’m not concerned about Conservatives - I believe Conservatives mostly know what the lay of the land is. The charisma issue comes into play when Independents are considered. Independents waffle in the slightest breeze and Bolton (bless his heart) isn’t a sweet and fuzzy guy so I don’t think he’d garner the necessary Independent votes. A candidate can’t win the Presidency without winning the majority of the Independents.
