Tillerson being the former ExxonMobil CEO who was basically in bed with Russia.The guy who, during the hearings, would refuse to say denounce Putin with Marco Rubio pushing him on it.

BUT

In a weird twist of things, Tillerson may be denied Secretary of State because some Republicans don't want to vote for him because of his cozying up to Russia, which is normal for the normal branch of the Republican Party.

However it could be Democrats who save him and put him in because quite a few are still open to voting for him. So what I'm seeing is that Democrats are once again showing how much they're little bitches when it comes to military strength. But that shouldn't surprise anyone who's known the history of these two parties.

here's a video for a smol summary on it. Ignore the article.

He'll be confirmed - Republican's aren't going to want to start controversy with the Trump administration, and Democrats likely see Tillerson as a means to reign in the President's lack of composure on the world stage.

Do we know who the back up nominations are? It could very well be that someone worse could be put in place if Tillerson is denied.

It's speculated he'd go for someone not at all in line with normal Republican ways.

I'm thinking about this from the Democrats perspective. They might be thinking that this is the least smelly turd in the shit basket trump handed them.

denounce Putin with Marco Rubio pushing him on it.


Making money in Russia is not cozying up to Russia.
Using common sense by saying Putin is not a war criminal, is not a bad thing.

Russia is a pretty corrupt country. Making money in Russia basically does mean being in bed with the Russian government

Edit: In terms of corruption, Russia is number 121 out of 168. Fucking Pakistan is not as corrupt.
