Tillerson is off the mark with his comment [View all]

When he said tRump speaks for "himself" regarding values.

Don't stop there.
tRump's "values" are those of the Republican Party at large. He polls very high in favorability within that party.

The correct statement, and one Tillerson couldn't say is...
"Trump speaks for the Republican Party and not the country as a whole".
This to me is much more accurate.

Don't let these fuckers separate tRump from his party like this. He is tied to them. Wrap that rope tighter.
