I agree with what you said, but maybe for different reasons. If Bolton screws up his assignment--to go into the UN and make it clear that the US isn't playing around with them anymore--then it will haunt the Republicans because the support for candidates of that party will be less forthcoming with money and at the ballot box.

As for the Dems. it isn't really going to cost them any political clout unless Bolton goes in and does such a great job that everyone in the UN has nothing but glowing things to say about him (don't think it will happen).

Again, if folks at the UN have nice things to say about him, then he didn't do what I understood he was sent there for. I'm hoping they have nothing good to say about him, and they have lots of reasons to say it.

My call, 6 months from now he'll be resigning after a scandal and the WH and he will be blaming the Dems and the UN for his mistakes. (I just think he's going to be set up in ways he has no idea of.)

I hadn't considered that, but given the boat rocking he's been touted as being able to do, I think you're right--someone that is getting toes stepped on will try to make their life easier by setting him up. 6 months may be a little short, but it's something he should truly beware of.
