I will save you the trouble of giving NRO a click. I violated my own policy of avoiding them but it was too much fun watching their meltdown after Trump. Better than MSNBC.

I am opposed to Bolton. Two years ago I would be tickled at the prospect but now, no way. If Lowry would ask me why I'd object to Bolton, my reply would be, "Because you wish it."

One of the best arguments against appointing him.

Bolton is too established. Neck deep in the establishment.

The fact that they’re trying to tell a guy they hate what to do is enough to go against Bolton. Too bad Jesse Helms is not still around.

I wasn’t sure about Bolton but a National Review endorsement is the kiss of death.

If NR is for him, I’m against him.

Y'all are late to the game here. LOL.

His name has come up as a possible fit for this role ever since Trump won the nomination. Some of us have been saying all along that he's a "neo-con" globalist who shouldn't be allowed within 100 miles of Washington DC. Trump can't drain the swamp if he appoints someone like Bolton who has been living there oozing its stench for 35 years.

I’d rather let Trump think for himself on this, since it is his aim to make America great again.

“I will save you the trouble of giving NRO a click.”

Wished every Freeper who posts articles from the MSM (ny SLIMES, WA COMPOST, pmsnbc) etc would start with your warning. I hate clicking on their sites and giving them more views.

Bolton would best serve us by being UN ambassador. He HATES the UN and so does Trump.

The only way to fix the Dept of State is to get someone who understands communism, and knows the harm it brings.

And knows how to get rid of it. As it is, Dept of State is a hornet’s nest of anti-American communists.

Sems like a very sensible guy. But, recommendation by the National review is disqualifying in my book.

The editors of National Review are idiots . . . but then, I think that Trump knows that.

No.

State needs to be scoured almost as much as Justice.

Gowdy or Giuliani and have them spend most of their time reviewing and prosecuting career personnel.
