Rubio caved.
They don't give a damn about this country.

You think they are being threatened to say Yes?

(13,110 posts)I do know McCain is also voting for Tillerson.
He pretended to be concerned about Tillerson's connections to Russia.
No, I don't think they are being threatened.
I think they vote against anything that is good or benefits the 99%.
I watched the hearing for Tillerson.
It is pointless having hearings if the Republicans always vote in lockstep.

(2,795 posts)Any republican that asked any tough questions and acted like they were skeptical, it was all for show. I knew 100% Rubio would vote for Tillerson. He's the weakest follower of them all. He puts on a front like and he looks impressive then he caves.
They'll all be confirmed. Only needing 51 vote majority - no way will any be rejected.

(43,209 posts)If they had Mitt Romney, who is at least capable of acting like a statesman, as Secretary of State he'd desperately be looking to put liptstick on a pig. (Of course, the only reason Mitt Romney was floated as a possibility was so that Trump could engage in some pretty sick personal revenge against him and humiliate him, but that's besides the point.)
The worst President in history ought to be matched with the worst Cabinet in history.
Cheers!
