Why set up two Senate confirmations? Slip Amb Bolton into State, and let the big dawg eat.
T.U.R.D.
It seemed curious when Mr Tillerson came to the defense of the muslins in Burma who were getting their cummupance at the hands of angry Buddhists.
We have to stop taking people out of Congress. We have so many special elections it’s crazy
We should not have been told anything until Tillerson had stepped down. All this here is speculation and possibly a few trial balloons. We don’t always need to see the sausages as they’re being made. That can be disgusting and confusing to many.
Senator Cotton wrote an outstanding essay for Imprimis on the topic of Immigration. Everyone should read it:

Senior administration officials told the New York Times Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., would then take over for Pompeo as director of the CIA.

First of all, “Senior administration officials” who leak ANYTHING to the NY Times should be out of a job immediately. Second of all, I wouldn’t be surprised of these “Senior administration officials” were the figment of someone’s imagination.
No wonder Trump calls these people out daily for “fake news.” We’d be fools to believe ANY unattributed report they spew out about anything.
Incredibly stupid. The Senate has 52 Senators and can barely get anything passed. Let’s put it down to 51 and get rid of one of the guys who supports the agenda vis a vis immigration. Tillerson is cleaning house. It’s not Trump who wants him out
I'd rather have Cotton in the Senate...
I remember when ... most every one here seemed to think Tillerson was the cat’s meow of DJT’s appointees. My, my, how things change or is it more of the same with different names?
I’ll believe that when it happens.
If so, step down today, Rex. Good riddance. And tie yourself to McMastermind on your way out the door.
Fine with me. Tillerson does not impress.
I think Tillerson is a very capable person, especially as a businessman. However, Tillerson seems to be an incongruity within the Trump administration. Tillerson is a globull warming advocate. Tillerson is pro-Islam.
So, while Tillerson is a good guy, he is likely a very moderate person with soft spots for the left, and that just never seemed to square with the Trump administration.
On balance, it is unfortunate the Trump administration has to go through this, but I do think the Trump administration is definitely finding its groove, and rather than having Tillerson as an irritating and distracting pebble in the shoe, it’s better that they part ways.

Trump expects his appointees to execute on those objectives
Pompeo has done a very good job of implementing Trump's agenda and getting the CIA under control
Tillerson is in a much tougher position because Trump and his family members wish to run foreign policy from the White House and Tillerson has not shown as much enthusiasm for showing State Dept moles the door.
Tillerson has a Trump size ego and is accustomed to being the CEO.
After being CEO of huge petrochemical company, Tillerson may be having trouble subordinating himself to a new boss.
I’ll wait for WH to confirm or deny this one. I don’t like the sources.
Also, these same outlets were furious a few day ago with Tillerson for not filling vacant state department seats.
The whole idea of using Cotton and taking him out of the senate is crazy. He’s one of the best senators. Arkansas is not a safe state. Just ask Clinton. That seat is loseable.
“according to a report”
back to totally fake news now - i think there’s been about a million “reports” that trump was gonna fire this person, or replace that person with some other person.
i guess this sort of fake news is now what publishers use on slow news days instead of stories like cat-stuck-in-tree-rescued-by-friendly-firemen ...
