Graham and McCain hop aboard the Tillerson train

From the Sunday shows: Lindsey Graham and John McCain both said they'll vote to confirm Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.

Why it matters: Tillerson can clear the Senate with just Republican votes. His refusals to condemn Putin drew lots of attention at his confirmation hearing. Now it looks like he'll be just fine.

The one to watch: Marco Rubio, who was the senator to put Tillerson through the ringer on Russia. He's still mum on his vote.


TOPICS: Arizona; South Carolina; Parties; U.S. Senate
KEYWORDS: graham; mccain; tillerson; trump

At last, the Schumer buddies see the light. We can only hope they have had a come-to-Jesus moment when they saw the incredible crowd of Pres. Trump supporters at the inauguration.

Are these guys Siamese twins? Or maybe little Lindsey was afraid that there might be no noogie tonight if he strayed from the master.

I think Juan and Lindsey are beginning to realize that it could be very much to their detriment to try to thwart President Trump and the agenda he ran on. But still many policies to be addressed in the coming weeks and months.

Marco is a “me too” kinda guy, so he will come on board too. (Lets see if he’s bold enough to stand alone)

It appears that pres Trump made those two an offer they couldn’t refuse-his intel people must have some burn-you-to-the-ground stuff on them...

L'il marco could screw it up, but since he has never had an original thought in his head, he will probably not go against the Old Man and the Pansy.
