Discussion: Despite Doubts, Rubio Will Back Tillerson To Be Secretary Of State

“I remain concerned that in the years to come, our country will not give the defense of democracy and human rights the priority they deserve, and will pursue a foreign policy that too often sets aside our values and our historic alliances in pursuit of flawed geopolitical deals,” Rubio wrote.

IF Rubio was concerned or actually felt we wouldn’t give human rights a priority or that “too often” our foriegn policy would abandon reason, then maybe the thing to do was not support Tillerson. My guess is Rubio caved in for far less of a bribe than McCain and Graham.

If you take the word “virtually” out, I’ll agree with your prediction.

@tomanjeri: I find myself hard-pressed to find anything in that list of concerns that shouldn’t immediately cause any senator to cast a ‘no’ vote. Party Before Country!

No, it doesn’t. Trump’s fully on the hook for letting Putin use him as a puppet.

Believe what you want.

SHOCKING!

The Rube has beyond doubt the most fierce bark of any attack dog on Capitol Hill and he’s now licking Tillerson’s hand?
