There probably isn't much more I can add to the other responses you've already gotten, but I will say this:
It takes certain unique skills to be an effective SoS. As CEO of one of the world's largest oil companies, Tillerson has had to deal with every stripe and type of bureaucrat, diplomat, minister, politician, insider, financier, banker, investor, law firm, crook, warlord, despot, and head of state imaginable. It's what a guy in that league does every day, to bring home the bacon for his company.
He is not being considered by Trump because of his ideological or political purity. Trump, as any experienced CEO does, is looking at the man's skill set, aptitude, track record, and willingness to tackle a tough job for the good of the group - in this case, the American people, and his boss's political goals.
I think Tillerson very well understands what he's walking into, and knows that his personal views on issues unrelated to the office of SoS will be off the table for him, during his tenure, should he be confirmed.
Agree with everything you’ve posted. I spent a couple of hours listening to Tillerson in various forums on youtube since his name came up, and I have to say I am very impressed.
I trust PEOTUS implicitly at this point. MAGA!
Sorry, I don’t believe you can draw a direct equivalence between business and statecraft. All we can do is trust Trump on this one because the red flags are all over the place with Tillerson. And the Dems haven’t even started digging.
