"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Sounds like someone I could like.Speaks well, all on his own, understands foreign policy. Seems to be a realist.
I don't know much about him, so I'd have to learn more before I can decide if he's worth backing or not. (Never been a fan of Yale though - like Harvard and Stanford much better!)Now that you have brought him up the attacks will begin, I'm sure.

Me either. I hate his singing and the guy looks like a walrus.
He doesn't have a spotless record. His career has been filled with controversy. Surely the right can find someone less polarizing.

Critics allege Bolton tried to spin intelligence to support his views and political objectives on a number of occasions. Greg Thielmann, of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), was assigned as the daily intelligence liaison to Bolton. Thielmann stated to Seymour Hersh that, "Bolton seemed troubled because INR was not telling him what he wanted to hear ... I was intercepted at the door of his office and told, 'The Undersecretary doesn't need you to attend this meeting anymore.'" According to former coworkers, Bolton withheld information that ran counter to his goals from Secretary of State Colin Powell on multiple occasions, and from Powell's successor Condoleezza Rice on at least one occasion.
