John Bolton Being Considered for Secretary of State

[Toro]

In addition, fierce infighting has erupted over some of the most important jobs in president-elect Trump’s administration -- particularly over Secretary of State. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has expressed strong interest in being the nation’s top diplomat. But other top figures in the transition had been backing John Bolton, a favorite of the neo-conservative wing of the Republican Party and a former United Nations ambassador under President George W. Bush.

Confirmation Fight

Bolton would likely face a tough confirmation fight in the Senate. Two other contenders have emerged in addition to Giuliani: former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who served under Colin Powell, and Henry Paulson, who was Treasury Secretary under Bush, according to one person familiar with the transition.​

I'm surprised that Trump would consider anyone who was involved in the invasion of Iraq.

 

[candycorn]

Bolton would be great.
More comedy

 

[Iceweasel]

Fierce infighting? Pardon my skepticism, after the first billion slurs it kinda wears off. Bolton would be my first choice, he knows his stuff.

 

[Iceweasel]

Bolton would be great.

Yep, by watching libs pound their high chairs and screaming bloody murder.

 

[Desperado]

Trump needs to stay away from the NeoCon Bolton and the person that suggested Bolton's name in the first place.

 

[Pete7469]

I don't know that Bolton is the sort of half assed conservative many in the Bush regime were, he was openly contemptuous of the UN.

That's why I liked him.

I thought Bob Corker might take it, but I guess he likes it in the Senate.

Why? Obama appointed Clinton, Biden and Kerry, all of whom supported the invasion of Iraq.

 

[Slade3200]

I dont know much about Bolton, but have a hard time listening to him when he has been interviewed on TV. He comes off as extremely partisan and biased.

John Bolton Being Considered for Secretary of State

How about we compromise and go with Michael instead?

 

[NYcarbineer]

A neocon for Secy of State?

Like I once said, you might as well have elected Jeb Bush.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

And here comes the neo-con machine. SMH......

 

[Rocko]

Henry Paulson wtf?!?

 

[paulitician]

I would oppose Bolton being in his Administration. He's an old Bush Neocon Warmonger. Trump should pass on him.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL NEWS, he's an amazing talent and would be perfect in the role - a no-nonsense guy who GETS THINGS DONE.

Been a big fan of his for a long time, couldn't find a more perfect candidate.

Let's hope John Bolton takes a lighter touch than Michael Bolton to the problems with foreign entities...lol..

 

[NightFox]

And here comes the neo-con machine. SMH......

Well as long as they don't bring in the King of the Neocons....aka He who shall not be named, it might not be so bad.

... on second thought, I believe we've filled our neocon warmonger quota for the next several centuries so 1 is too many.

Be careful. Bolton's an old Bush Neocon Warmonger. I would advise Trump to stay away from him.

Yeah, Trump better be careful. His supporters are watching closely. Most don't want a return to Neocon Warmonger misery.

For the time being.
