Ted Cruz: John Bolton Would Be 'Very Strong' Flynn Replacement
News Max ^ | February 17, 2017 | Bill Hoffmann

John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who has written for Newsmax Magazine, would be an excellent choice to replace Mike Flynn as President Donald Trump's national security adviser, Sen. Ted Cruz says.

"One person I think would be very, very strong is John Bolton. He's someone who understands the world, he understands the threats of radical Islamic terrorism," the Texas Republican told CNN's Manu Raju on Friday.

McCain and Graham like him. Enough said.

No way. Bolton is politically ambitious. He has his own PAC and endorses about every RINO in DC, including John McCain. Trump’s people have to know this. His appointment would certainly be proof that the Trump Administration feels it needs to suck up to Neocons out of weakness.

I like West also...but to me its more important to have someone who is younger than Bolton.

“McCain and Graham like him. Enough said.”

Deal killer. Bolton is very knowledgeable but too much of a Neo Con. I don’t think I want him in this role. Advisory maybe but a not a chief.

Graham and McCain would not vote for him..that is a clue.

The laughing McCain/Bolton/Romney picture I posted might get pulled because of copyright, but here are the quotes.

"John McCain is a critical leader for Arizona and our country. He is the man I trust to fight for our freedom, veterans, and military. Join me in supporting John McCain." -- John Bolton, 2016

“I am a big John Bolton fan. I am in charge of the State Department’s budget… I don’t have enough people to go in and turn the State Department upside down. John Bolton knows where the bodies are buried at the State Department. We need to make it easier to fire people, we need to make it a more efficient place. I think John Bolton sees the world for what it is, not for what people want it to be so I am a big john Bolton fan.” — Lindsey Graham on why John Bolton would be a good pick for Secretary of State, 2016

Bolton and McCain might disagree about torture and the Russian hackers theory, but aren't they in agreement about most other stuff?

When Crus isn't bashing his Goldman Sachs wife's face with elbows and fists, he's cashing their checks!

Cruz can try all he wants, but he will never be relevant again. He’s a liar, a cheat and a nut case.

As for Bolton, I think he certainly deserves consideration, but I believe that President Trump could find someone much better. If the President chooses Bolton, I’ll support his decision.

Cruz is doing a good job bashing dems and supporting Trump. I’d never vote him in a primary but as from as republicans go there are a lot worse.

I liked Bolton. Didn’t know he was so cozy with McCain and Graham, so I say emphatically NO Bolton!

Anything McCain/Graham are for We The People must completely prevent.

Looks like globalist Cruz is still cashing Goldman Sachs checks.

Yeah, maybe Steve Bannon, Steven Mnuchin, Gary Cohn or Anthony Scaramucci can show him when the nearest branch is. Come to think of it, there's enough GS guys in this administration that they could just open a branch in the West Wing.

Cruz's insufferable performance at the convention

He flipped the coin and lost big. There is no going back, he smoked himself.
