Having an outsider like Tillerson makes a lot of sense - he’s a breath of fresh air from the typical diplomats/political hacks that traditionally get the job. He’ll look at things from a wholly different perspective - kind of the Trump of the State Department.
HOWEVER, you cannot just have someone with little or no experience in charge of a very substantive department employing thousands or more people, with responsibilities that have world-wide repercussions. You need him to have staff that can implement his (and his boss’) ideas. You need someone who knows the territory and the personnel, and can say “HE is the problem in our Mideast Desk” and “THEY are the problem on our Asia desk.” In short, you need (at least for a while) to do what Patton did in Germany - hire those ex-Nazis who know how to run the railroads, keep the water running, etc., so that there’s not a disaster. Like Bolton or not (and I do like him - he’s exceptionally sharp, and pro-US - unlike most of our diplomats), he’s the right guy for the job. Also keep in mind that he will do as he’s told - he won’t be making too many policy decisions, as those will be made by the 2 layers above him. His job will be to find the best way to implement those policies, period.
Oh, and the more that the pansies, pussies and assorted NWO lying jackasses in the Senate DON’T like someone, the more that I DO like them...just like Trump and the political/media whores. I’d pick Bolton JUST BECAUSE it would frighten/piss off those phuckers.
