McCain: I'll vote for Tillerson
Source: Politico
After weeks of agonizing over Rex Tillersons ties to Russia, John McCain said Sunday that he will vote for President Donald Trumps secretary of state nominee.
The announcement from McCain essentially clinches approval for Tillerson, though it could be still be a rocky ride. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is still holding out on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but McCains support will allow Trump to breathe easier that Tillerson will be confirmed later on the Senate floor.

And then the country has Tillerson, that thought that his oligarchy was a country within this country and didn't have to follow rules unless they fit there needs at Exxon-Mobil and the "Private Empire"
I just wonder if McCain remembers that the Chinese and the Russian fought this country and its allies during the Vietnam conflict?

(13,616 posts)a Republican that Democrats really want to give the benefit of the doubt to, because at one time he was a bit more honest and respectable. let us cease to be fooled by the fact that he keeps on wearing the scars he earned as a prisoner of war as badges. And no I am not going to go ahead and give Marco Rubio any praise for what he is doing, because he two also gave in the Trump.
With T Rex being nominated, food is done what Josef Stalin could only dream of doing.
