Great news - John Bolton
I would love to see Ambassador Bolton get more involved in the 2016 election cycle.
It seems that he is going gangbusters!

National Review:
Bolton PACs Raise Big Money
John Bolton’s political-action committees are pulling in big bucks. Together, the former United Nations ambassador’s groups, a PAC and a super PAC that will back candidates who share Bolton’s belief in a muscular foreign policy, raised nearly $2 million since their launch in November, sources say. They will file a report with the Federal Election Commission later today.
The haul includes an impressive $1.1 million raised in the first quarter of 2014. As of Tuesday, the PAC had $318,000 cash on hand and the super PAC had over $1.1 million cash on hand. Though a good portion of the money came from top-dollar donors — Home Depot cofounder Bernie Marcus and conservative philanthropist Roger Hertog among them — over 7,000 small-dollar donors also contributed online and via direct mail. The group also boasts backers in all 50 states.
“We are very pleased with our results both in the first quarter and since we started,” Bolton tells National Review Online. “The grassroots support and the number of contributors in the early days prove two things: First, Americans care strongly about our country’s national security and second, they are deeply concerned about the harm caused to that security over the last five years. Our results demonstrate that candidates supporting a strong America will have the people behind them.”
His short tenure at the UN was stellar. The fact that he upset so many of the entrenched 'progressives' shows that he was doing good work.
