| I think he is a great choice ...... he is universally praised by people who should know. |
Because of his connection to Exxon, he would be irredeemably compromised. If not in actuality, then in appearance. |
Which elites would those be and how do they make their money. |
+1 |
More compromised than Hillary and the Clinton Foundation? |
Actually, yes. Think about it. |
Hillary is a private citizen now and irrelevant. And yes. |
He will no longer be connected to Exxon ...... Hillary was SoS even while her husband was actively involved with the Clinton Foundation. |
Keep thinking. |
Texas oil interests, duh. |

oh to be a whip counter for this one.
flake and rubio could defect in committee. if it brings to a floor vote, mccain, graham, collins, rubio, flake should be targeted by dems. |
Trumpkins are very bad at logic. Unsurprisingly. |
You mean like trump being president while his kids are still actively involved in his business? Huh. |
Add in Rand Paul. |
no. Rex riles up the opposite of the neocon picks. RP would stop Rudy and Bolton. I think he'll vote for Tillerson. WHich is why the calculus shifts in committee. For people like bolton, rp was the bulwark in committee. but now it's flake and rubio we need to look at. |
