Trump Dares Senate to Reject Tillerson

December 14, 2016 By Taegan Goddard
Donald Trumps selection of Rex Tillerson for secretary of state on Tuesday amounted to a dare to Senate Republicans to reject the ExxonMobil chief over his close ties to Russia. Early signs suggest the GOP wont defy the president-elect, Politico reports.
Barring new revelations about Tillersons past and connections with Russia, there are early indications that he will be confirmed
Still, Trump and Tillerson will have little margin for error. GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Marco Rubio of Florida and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have all reacted critically to Tillersons business ties to Russia. It would take only three Republicans to sink him, if all Democrats vote no.

(3,040 posts)That most of Trump's appointments will be rejected, and Trump will go with his actual choices afterwards. Trump knows how to negotiate, and he knows that you always make your first offer or counter offer to be the most absurd so they will settle somewhere in the middle -- where you actually planned to be.
Once these crazies are rejected he will win popular support for being attacked by both parties, then put in his real choices. This is in line with how he runs his life, and, I hope to God that I am right -- other wise we are fucked so badly.
