Anyone else wonder how and why Tillerson came to be Secretary of State?
Zero government, diplomatic or public foreign policy experience.
Sure, he's got some experience as Exxon CEO dealing with foreign governments, but it's apples to oranges when we're talking about private sector vs. public sector.
His name came up rather quickly, right after the Madman had cruelly teased the job for Mitt Romney (which was painfully obvious was nothing but a vindictive act against Romney for him speaking out against Trump during the campaign.)
But who suggested it, and why?
I don't know the answer to either of those questions, but I'm thinking it had to do with Russia. The only question is, on what end was Tillerson recommended?
Was it Trump's offering to the Russians, giving somebody to them who could be seen as a friendly face due to his past dealings with the Russian government?
Or did it come at the "suggestion" of the Russians, who viewed Tillerson as "their guy"?
One way or another, I doubt that the fact that the guy once received a medal from Putin himself is just a coincidence.
