Actally know. Although he worked for Bush, he battled Condoleeza Rice on many occasions. Graham and McCain would not vote for him..that is a clue.

Flynn’s post is not subject to Senate confirmation, for whatever that is worth.

I like him, but I have often heard him say things that are distinctly neocon positions that represent the globalistic brand of the “conservative elite.”

With that said, I still think he deserves a position because he is very effective and he knows the landscape better than almost anyone. I appreciate his assessments regarding where Trump wants to take us in foreign policy.

I still think his most effective position would be as the right hand for Tillerson navigating the swamp of Foggy Bottom.

The laughing McCain/Bolton/Romney picture I posted might get pulled because of copyright, but here are the quotes.

"John McCain is a critical leader for Arizona and our country. He is the man I trust to fight for our freedom, veterans, and military. Join me in supporting John McCain." -- John Bolton, 2016

“I am a big John Bolton fan. I am in charge of the State Department’s budget… I don’t have enough people to go in and turn the State Department upside down. John Bolton knows where the bodies are buried at the State Department. We need to make it easier to fire people, we need to make it a more efficient place. I think John Bolton sees the world for what it is, not for what people want it to be so I am a big john Bolton fan.” — Lindsey Graham on why John Bolton would be a good pick for Secretary of State, 2016

Bolton and McCain might disagree about torture and the Russian hackers theory, but aren't they in agreement about most other stuff?
