I followed you to the last paragraph. You say Bolton is an example of a “raving liberal”, which I understand is likely a mistake as Bolton....well he’s odd.
I like to listen to his take on things but he does seem a bit....er, tough.
I agree with your assessment of McCain. He probably started out with good intentions but again, they stay there, they begin to think like them.....
I am so glad they voted those nuts out.
Soon McCain will have to go, even if only because Mother Nature made a call.
Bolton is a clear-thinker on foreign policy, up to a point, such as suggesting war with Russia over Syria.
He is a liberal on social issues like James Baker and Condi Rice, but has always been a Republican AFAIK.
