I will go with Bolton. Petraeus is my second choice.
No Romney!
No Bolton. He’s a bombastic neocon warmonger. Trump has indicated his desire to avoid foreign misadventures. Bolton wouldn’t be able to follow those instructions.
Bolton is a neo-con and, as such, never met a conflict he did not want to escalate. Poor choice especially when Trump wants to scale back our costly overseas commitments. Don’t see this working well with Bolton.
Re: Romney—forget about it. He’s a backstabber and we have way too many of those in Washington.
I would say Mittens should get the nod—He’s got the intelligence and the stature-BUT he must eat some crow and denounce what he said about Trump. He may not want the job—being 4rd in line to president. BUT Trump ought to keep him on a short leash—As long as he serves Trumps agenda—OK but if he starts to mouth off—he should be fired.
