Fox News sez Ambassador John Bolton now part of the 'top 5' for SEC State
2016-12-01
[Right Scoop] Apparently former UN Ambassador John Bolton is not yet out of the mix for Secretary of State!

Fox News just reported that Bolton met with Pence today and will meet with Trump on Friday as a contender for the position:

I really thought Bolton was not being considered any longer, as there’s be no discussion on him for Secretary of State in what seem like weeks. Which has been baffling to me, as he’s literally the best man for the job. But now, all of a sudden, he’s meeting with both Pence and Trump. Does this mean Trump’s dinner with Romney didn’t go so well?

#10  Serious question. Why would Romney or Petraeus agree to have their brains picked? They must expect something in return.

#9  #5 My hope is Trump was just picking Romney's brain. Posted by Abu Uluque I think was doing the same with Dave Petraeus - picking his brain on the Defense Department noms as well as the Intel World.

#8  "If Bolton is selected, they'll be running, not walking from Foggy Bottom."

Make it so, Mr. B. :-D

#7  Bolton will know how to cull the herd.
Trump may have had him in mind from the start.

#6  Romney walks away having given Trump a kiss on the ring. And he's happy to get any attention. The Media has something to talk about and Trump still holds all the cards.

Bolton IS the best man for the job. He KNOWS how the State Dept. Works, he knows the bureaucracy and how he can identify the clowns who need to be transferred out of their careers and into quitting because they can't be fired easily. Just send them to Whale Blubber island to salute the seals and take names or to Butthump, Nicaragua for important work counting the palm trees for the next 8 years. Clean out the State Dept. which sucked Hillary's tits. Hire fresh Trump leadership.

Bolton will know how to cull the herd.

No after dinner drinks or cigars with a verbal abuser?
Sure it went well. Romney walked away.
