Rubio decided that being Schumer's pet was a career limiting move?

Yes!

This is huge!

I would not be surprised Lindsey Graham and John McCain will now switch their votes, to cover their butts with their voters, since they know Tillerson will be confirmed.

Winning!

Surprise! Oh wait no - a senator blowing hot air so they can see their name and mug in the news -shocking.

The repubs know they weren't suppose to have do as well down the ballot as they did. They know why too it was all Trump and us deplorable s. Going against him now is a sure loss he is like 18 or 19 wins and 0 win- he has a Mike Tyson record and some these fights last just as long.

Why does the left fear President Trump so much now and are trying to make him into a dictator - because when he decides to do something it happens.

He is a grand wizard(applied psychologist) and the whole world knows it now if not at a subconscious level. If the votes are close for now all the huffing and puffing from senators is show they vote the party line and its President's Trump who is setting the lines. They've all gotten in line - one will get out of line soon and see what happens.

None of them want to be the next John McCain

No, he waited until Juan McNasty and Linda Graham gave him permission. What a gutless little wimp.

The neverTrumpers don’t want to start a fight this early into the administration. Behind the scenes they are looking at groups like CREW to derail Trump’s presidency.

They might actually be better off with Trump than without him. They just don’t know it yet.

That’s wild. “T Rex” at State, “Mad Dog” at Defense.

Tillerson would, most likely, win even without McCain, Graham and Rubio as several democrats (Manchin, Heidikamp) have said they will vote for him.

*************

When they see they’re going to lose, they decide to switch sides. What a disgusting trio of political opportunists and obstructionists.

-—His insistence Tillerson call Putin a war criminal was insane.-—

My guess is McCain put him up to it to save McCain the embarassment of looking foolish...

and hoping T-Rex will fall for it...

the other side of the coin is it was a set up question to take that point away from the democrats...

Asking a future Sec. of State if he’d call someone a war criminal when he HAS to negotiate with Putin in the future would make any dealings with a world power more difficult.

Tillertson should have returned the question with a question like “Senator, how would you negotiate with a man you’ve declared is a war criminal? Are you prepared to declare war?”

Trump will get ALL his appts through. He is the Alpha Dog and all the Congressional twats know it too be so.

He will also get his USSC pick despite what the weasel Schumer thinks.

He pulled his grandstanding tough guy crap and make no mistake thats all it was.
Proof being he immediately went out to the hall to be interviewed by CNN.

Compared to Rex Tillerson he is a pimple on a knits ass.

Tillerson has managed what is the equivalent of a small country and done it well

Hopefully Fl will remember this gamesmanship come time for reelection.

That little puke needs to be shoping for a new job
