Please feel free to comment on the pros and cons of John Bolton as the GOP VP candidate.
Bolton would add certain strengths, but might have been a better choice for a more conservative nominee than Mitt. Mitt needs someone very much a tea party type - maybe West, maybe Rubio, maybe DeMint, etc.
(Something like a DeMint-Bolton ticket would have been awesome though)
I’d give Bolton the Secretary of State job.
Well, Bolton would be a good fit with Romney, since he supports homosexual fake marriage.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
John Bolton - Secretary of State. He’s another Kissinger.
Some ones that immediately come to mind:
PROS
- Foriegn policy credentials impecciable
- Media can’t claim GOP candidate is a moron
- Ready to be President in a heartbeat
- Would destroy Joe Biden in a debate
- Slap down at John Thune and his idiotic supporters here
CONS
- Never held elective office, will swing 0 electoral votes (he’s from Maryland)
- RATs absolutely hate him and would be motiviated to turn out against him
- Bush fatigued, media will constantly portray his presence as a return
to Bush’s adminstration and foriegn policy (nevermind the fact that Mr. “Hope & Change” kept Bush’s forieng policy in place anyway)
- Conceded defeat on “gay marriage” issue
- Needs to shave mustache
I agree with the freeper who said he’d be ideal as Secretary of State. I did like the idea of him running for President a while back, but that was because Thune was being touted as Presidential material and I wanted Bolton to swoop in and take out Thune the way Thune had did to Bolton’s UN nomination. (Revenge is a dish best served cold)
