As for Gingrich’s suggestion of Bolton for Secretary of State, it is met with derision and horror from foreign policy experts and State Department veterans. “[Gingrich] wants to take the country back on foreign policy that even George W. Bush had some sense to reject towards the end of his second term in office,” says Brian Katulis, an expert on national security at the Center for American Progress. “Trumpeting John Bolton as a diplomatic brand worth selling is kind of like the Ford Motor Company trying to revive the Pinto.”

worse than bush!

Newt is responsible for most of the Republican's worst ideas. No matter how bad someone's idea may be, Gingrich can come up with something that's worse every time, and can actually sell it. The guy missed his calling. He should have been in the futurities market. Or out on a street corner, running a 3-card Monte game.

Bolton would love the job, but the little fascist runt is so universally despised I doubt even Trump would give it to him.
