Ted Cruz says John Bolton is the PERFECT man for national security adviser -

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas (A, 97%) has called on President Donald Trump to pick former ambassador John Bolton as his next national security advisor.

Lt. Gen Michael Flynn resigned from the position on Monday amidst reports he misled Vice President Mike Pence about conversations he held with the Russian ambassador to the United States.

During an interview on "CNN Newsroom" Friday afternoon, Sen. Cruz said Bolton was the best man for the job.

"Who I think would be very, very strong is John Bolton," Cruz told CNN's Manu Raju.

"John is someone who is very well known here on the Hill. Republicans and Democrats know John Bolton well. He is someone who understands the world. He understands the threats of radical Islamic terrorism. He understands the threats of an overaggressive [Vladimir] Putin," Cruz said.

Everything I've heard from John Bolton sounds like he understands the threats to America.

Predicts Putin moving on Ukraine (again), Clinton's & Obama's ties to Moscow policies, foreign unrest...

"Why Iran nuke deal is "worst appeasement since Hitler" "catastrophic blunder""

Few people see the nuclear weapon development link between North Korea, Syria & Iran... with Russian assistance - Bolton nails it.
Hillary Clinton & Barak Obama were either out-to-lunch, ignorant, or .. maybe, not working in our best interests.

Picture the U.S. senior diplomats over at Foggy Bottom, lying on their backs with cold compresses or handkerchiefs mopping up spontaneous nosebleeds. Yes. More, please!

I have always been a fan of Bolton since his days as UN Ambassador. I am afraid his history and bluntness bothers GOPe and scares the democrats to death. He is certainly not PC.

Good the GOPe should be scared.  If your going to be PC you can not win.   From what I can see the Dems even scare themselves in this day and age.

We've listened to several of his speeches and commentary - every one is interesting, educational and above the partisan politics.

Bolton has a really good grasp of international affairs, and easily speaks to American concerns, just cuts through the political crap.

He's said you can take the top ten floors away at the UN and it wouldn't change a thing.

Bolton obviously hasn't considered resale value of the land or else he'd want it LEVELED.

We had Ellis Island for the inbound. Use this land for those getting thrown out.

Watch Lady Liberty wave her torch, and ponder where you went wrong against a nation that knows your treason but still has mercy to let you live.

Well, obviously President Trump didn't heed Cruz's suggestion; he nominated McMaster instead.
