Here's One Republican Who Isn't Running for President

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton says he's not running for president after all.
In a statement and Facebook video, Bolton, who held the ambassador post under President George W. Bush, said he won't be a candidate but that he will keep advocating for a strong foreign policy.
Bolton had been looking at the possibility of a run for months, traveling to key primary states New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina to tout his foreign policy credentials. While foreign policy is the top issue of concern for GOP primary voters, Bolton would have been an extreme longshot in the presidential primary contest. Most public polls have not included his name at all due to his low level of support; a recent University of New Hampshire poll found him with just one percent of Republicans in the state naming him as their first or second choice candidate.
