I laugh out loud when I hear someone on the TV say that Testy McPain or Linda Graham are against Tillerson.
It brings to mind something someone on FR wrote in a comment on another thread. "If yer agin’ em, then I’m fer ‘em."
The problem with tillerson is that he is an executive. Doesn’t matter how great he is or great negotiator he is. He will review the state personnel and see all the great “qualifica tions” on their resumes. Grad degrees from ivy league schools and not clean house. He is an exec not an idealogue. You need an idealogue who understands that these people all throughout our government are a cancer, and don’t have America’s best interest at heart. Clinton “drained the swamp” so to say of all the Reagan Bush people. W did not and had all those people in the Fed undermining him. Carson for instance is a nice guy and a good brain surgeon from what I hear, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is an imbecile and not qualified to make the change in our government. Trump cannot succeed unless he first drains the swamp. Picking so called good people or smart people is not the solution. Having the balls to fight fire with fire is what is necessary. Corp execs may very well be capable of doing the job, but you need people who will completely bleachbit the government of every person in every department after Obama.
