Make Room in the Clown Car: Is Fox's John Bolton Setting Up A Run For President?

[spanone]

Fox News contributor John Bolton will be appearing in the early Republican presidential primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire in the coming weeks while he's "considering" a presidential run. Bolton has already set up a political operation through two political action committees. Fox previously severed ties with Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson because they were getting too serious about exploring runs for president.

Bolton is the quintessential Fox News candidate. He was never elected to office, and left the Bush administration nearly a decade ago. Yet he's stayed visible with Republican primary voters through his frequent paid appearances on their favorite network.

A January 22 press release from Bolton's political action committee, Bolton Super PAC, stated he will speak tomorrow at the Iowa Freedom Summit, which "will bring together conservative activists in advance of Iowa's first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses." The Iowa event, hosted by Rep. Steve King (R-IA), features numerous other potential 2016 contenders. On February 2, he will return to New Hampshire to speak at a breakfast event.

The Washington Examiner reported on January 5 that a source "who works at Fox News" said "Bolton may be next" to leave the network to run for president. The source added that Bolton "just wants to stay at Fox as long as possible."

6. Running for President is a way to make millions, so I am surprised there aren't ten thousand

Republicans in the race. Running a campaign is money in their pocket..

10. It's inevitable...

When your party's base is the biggest collection of marks seen since the the exit at a P.T. Barnum attraction, it's inevitable that you're going to develop into a party of grifters.

He served under a misfit who proved anyone can be president. So why not take a shot?

11. How interesting that the people that benefited from Foxnews calling the election in 2000

have ended up working for Foxnews. One day history will vilify Rupert and his huge propaganda machine.
