Hagel on Board

It is becoming increasingly likely that Bolton's nomination will be approved by the Senate according to this report by NRO. Chaffee may not oppose Bolton and Hagel, who had been on the fence, had this to say:

“I intend to support John Bolton’s nomination to be Ambassador to the United Nations. His experience and knowledge will serve him well as he represents America’s interests in the U.N. at a critically important time. Mr. Bolton’s commitment to consult with members of Congress on a regular basis will be essential in helping him strengthen the U.N. and moving it toward reform.”

“He has the confidence of the President and the Secretary of State and I believe he will be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.”

Unless they decide to filibuster , the left will just brutalize him with the end result being confirmation.
