John Bolton for Secretary of State? Trump could do a lot worse, and arguably not much better than the experienced diplomat and national-security analyst. Hugh Hewitt has been pushing the Trump campaign to start naming its Cabinet positions since Trump clinched the nomination, particularly when it comes to national-security appointments. Appearing on Hughs show this morning, Bolton endorsed Trump and said hed be pleased to consider serving in that capacity, at least:
HH: Now let me turn to Donald Trump. I have urged him to name his cabinet. I have specifically urged him to name you as his Secretary of State designate. If Donald Trump asked you to serve in that capacity as Secretary of State, would you agree to do so?JB: Well, number one, with respect to your role, I am deeply grateful, and its an honor to be considered. You know, youve got to talk to somebody about a job like that. Its not just enough to take a position so you can put it on your resume. You need to be sure, particularly with the State Department, youve got an understanding with the president. He runs foreign policy. Lets be clear about that. But you have to understand exactly what your role would be and so on, and I think thats a conversation any responsible person would have. But Ive been honored, privileged, really, to serve in a number of senior positions at State and Justice over the years. And as you know, its an honor to serve the country. So obviously, youd take it very, very seriously.

This post is only an attempt to change the course of the narrative. (The above article being more on target.)
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Oatmeal keeps the blood pressure under control.
I thought about Christie for AG too; except he’s just not my favorite person. He might be okay as long as Trump makes the rules (which is very likely).
But .. what about the FBI?? I don’t have anybody in mind at the moment; or the DOJ ..??
I’d like to see Flynn as Sec of Defense (not State).
Agreed 100 hundred percent.
I’m sure, as would any other neocon globalist.
Seems the neocon globalists have split into two camps: the pro-Hillary camp, and the sharpening-daggers camp.
Bolton ROCKS!
‘There’s no such thing as the United Nations. If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.’ — John Bolton
‘Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.’ — John Bolton
‘If I were doing the Security Council today, I’d have one permanent member, the United States, because that’s the real reflection of the distribution of power in the world. All international laws are invalid, meaningless attempts to constrict American power.’ — John Bolton
