What Bush-era neocon is not for this today?
Find me one.
Name one Bolton is pleased as hell about what we're doing.
He said his only regret is that he didn't convince Trump to do this in 2018.
For sure.
Look, I mean, look, the president is impressed by Tom Cotton.
He's an impressive guy.
Double Harvard, young senator.
He's very tall.
He's a very careful.
Combat veteran, it used to be said.
Yeah, people look at him and they see CIA director, defense secretary, president.
But the reality is Cotton represents a constituency which is getting narrower and narrower and older and older in the American public.
And he is, frankly, a foreign policy radical.
He sees no real problem with the Bush legacy.
He's a former protege of the Weekly Standard editor William Crystal.
And he represents a strain of republicanism that Trump's initial rise was all about rejecting.
Remember, the never Trumpers were the neoconservatives.
They still are in many respects.
Trump's entire rise in 2016, and you know this more than any American alive, Steve, was against these folks.
