Who cares if the majority of the govt likes the ambassador? It's not a popularity contest. The ambassador's job is to represent US interests at the UN, and Bolton was very effective at that job. As to what he has delivered, how about sanctions against North Korea? We finally seem to be getting some traction there. How about noise over sanctions against Iran? Not likely to happen, but the fact that Russia and China even have anything constructive to say on the subject is a change for the better.
