Rex Tillerson will be an extremely effective Secretary of State. He knows the world, he knows how to make deals internationally, and although it's hard for the Washington elites to comprehend that Donald J. Trump could nominate someone who is not a bureaucrat, Tillerson has exactly the right kind of determination and toughness we need to fix the State Department.

it’s hard to comprehend how the Washington elites in the Senate could confirm him!

Miracles are happening all around the Trump Train. Might as well be another one.

It’s not official. I hope this is not a faint. Trump says he’s announcing tomorrow morning (Tuesday)

It will happen. They can’t stop it. In reality, it’s not up to them.

It’s a done deal. FACT.

Such babies. Always on the front side of the story, as in the fake Russian story. They forget they cannot rely on the usual suspects to help their propaganda, i.e.: the Times, the Post and the liberal Press which McCain used on Sunday to spew his lies.

It’s a new day. The liberal press and political hacks in CIA won’t get away with their propaganda anymore.

Newt Gingrich will be named Senior Trump Adviser. Newt knows how to expose these rats like no one.

Get Condi, Baker and Gates on record saying they think he’s fully qualified then listen to McCain crumble.

Newt did an excellent job there.

I’ve been pretty harsh on him, so this was like a breath of fresh air for me.

I am glad he is not in the administration. Hopefully he can contribute in a positive way.

My reservations were some of his off the cuff comments from time to time. Sometimes he ways the exact wrong thing at precisely the wrong time.

Who cares what Condi thinks? She is on record for voting for Hillary. When she announced it on FB, she was shunned hard core by long time Condi fans. They were done with her after that.

Baker is a Bushbot. NO. ONE. CARES.

Gates. No one knows who Gates is and no one cares about his opinion. LOL

Bob Gates: Trump is ‘beyond repair’

And they you have another Bush appointee Powell who again is on record for voting for Hillary.

So yeah, if those you mentioned are anti Tillerson, then it’s only more confirmation to true Conservatives that Tillerson is the right pick. :-)

the stark contrast between a highly competent, highly effective SOS that I expect Tillerson to be - and the incompetent disaster that was Hillary makes me smile. A kick in the balls to the Dems.

As I intimated in a pre-election post, Trump will be fighting the establishment (right and left) every step of the way.

You obviously didn’t understand my point. I was saying those people (Washington insiders) support Tillerson and those are people that the likes of McCain and Linda respect. Of course the people don’t care about them

I hope when they try the dog and pony show with Rex in the confirmation hearings, he unloads on them and calls them out for the hypocritical bunch of losers they are. The man has accomplished more in his life than 3/4 of the senators who will be sitting in judgement of him.
I am guessing he has some shots to fire back at them concerning Russia and Putin. You know that 95% of the hearings will deal with that. I am actually amazed..and impressed that in this environment he decided to accept the nomination.
The guy has balls. I hope he walks into the senate hearings and throws them on the table.
If the GOP cannot hold strong on this nomination I will be thoroughly disgusted with them.

Who says they support Tillerson? At least 1 is on record for voting for Hillary, 1 is a Bush I & II loyalist and the other one has publicly come out against Trump more than once.

Who says they are supporting Tillerson as SoS?

LOL. It’s not “done” until he is confirmed. And that won’t be happening. Disappointing that Trump’s inauguration will be overshadowed by this food fight with the Senate but that’s his choice.

In addition, there is so much evidence that at minimum 2 of the 3 you cited are Never Trumpers, to the point where they all but endorsed Hillary.

Baker has bashed Trump too.

Trump won. Trump represents millions of Americans and Trump gets to pick his Secretary of State. Only Trump voters should way in on who Trump selects as it was Trump supporters who got him elected. And he represents us. If we like Trumps pick, that is all that matters. As again, they are representing us. Not these boring closet Democrat elites.

That won't be happening? Just like Trump won't win the Primary or the General?

Just like Trump was suppose to lose the 2nd debate? All eyes on Trump after the leaked Access Hollywood video. That 2nd debate?

The same debate where just 30 minutes before the debate was suppose to start, Trump calls a news conference with Bill Clinton's accusers? That same press conference that literally caused her team to go into emergency mode just before the debate? That same debate where Bill Clinton faced his accuser on live television and the Trump mic drop moment?

No liberal political hack or stealth liberal mole posing as a Republican year over year, i.e.: McCain or Lindsey Graham is going to stop Tillerson from being confirmed if that is who Trump and his supporters choose.

And never forget the mic drop moment of the election:
