I don’t trust Mitt at all, but your collection of his policy positions do seem to fit Trumps ideas(and many of mine). This only further saddens me that Mitt has been a disappointment.
Amen.
WSJ is just guessing. That isn’t reporting, that’s gossip.
I want Bolton, too. I saw him on Lou Dobbs last night and he clearly hopes to be named to a post.
Bolton is campaigning a bit too hard for the job, IMO.

Mr. Trump, in a statement emailed Monday evening by his spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said: “Kellyanne came to me and asked whether or not she could go public with her thoughts on the matter. I encouraged her to do so. Most importantly she fully acknowledged there is only one person that makes the decision. She has always been a tremendous asset and that will continue.”
