Irrelevant, even if the Marco, Lindsey Graham and John McCain tried to form some anti-Trump cabal to kill Trump's nominees, there are several red state democrats such as Joe Manchin who have said they intend to vote for Tillerson, and since 50 votes is all it takes they will easily be confirmed with or without Marco and crew.

Joe Manchin is one of a handful of sane Democrats. I’m expecting him to switch parties at some point.

It’s not full Senate confirmation to be worried about; I agree with you that there will be some Dems that vote for Tillerson. The problem is in committee where Pubs have only a one vote edge and the Dems are all far left libs or enviro radicals. Trump needs Rubio’s vote there And very likely won’t get it.

I hope that is the case. While there has been talk of Red-State Democrats, the lock-step voting on the Obama care repeal has me placing minimal faith in them.
