That’s not a fair question, it was a juvenile one. It fails to understand loyalty.

It was just an anti-Trump statement.

I can agree with that statement

Mostly, we don’t know what we don’t know and folks like tillerson can keep a confidence

He was planning to retire March 2017. So it was two months early.

When I went to a meeting where Andy was present I always said “Yes, Sir.” or “Right away.” Never said anything remotely bordering on No or why something couldn’t be done.

The main headline today should be that Hillary Clinton is spreading anti American sentiment in the 2nd largest country on Earth, India.

It is good, it keeps people on their toes, just like in business.

You are right. Tillerson was too nice a guy, and let the Obamaites remain in State, where they could continue to obstruct, resist, and sabotage Trump’s agenda.

I believe Bob Gates was one of the people who recommended Tillerson—the same Bob Gates who went along with the Obama Administration on just about everything, then wrote a whiny “tell all” book after he retired. He could have made a big difference when he was in position, but he chose to always cave and be everybody’s boy. Why Trump chose Tillerson is beyond me—he's a guy with no real experience other than in one industry.

I don’t Think so.. I think It is refreshing. Everything moves so slow in government.,Trump moves quickly. Tillersom had no experience for this job, really. I am sure that factored in.

Why doesn’t Trump appoint people he can remain loyal to?

During the course of a long life a wise man is prepared to abandon his baggage many times.

Why should anyone be surprised that Trump - a business man who was elected, in part, because we needed someone to run government more like a business - is now treating his cabinet like management in his companies - when you don’t work within his visioning plan, when you don’t meet expectations - you are fired. That is how it is SUPPOSE to work!
