McCain: I'll vote for Tillerson

[oberliner]

After weeks of agonizing over Rex Tillerson’s ties to Russia, John McCain said Sunday that he will vote for President Donald Trump’s secretary of state nominee.

The announcement from McCain essentially clinches approval for Tillerson, though it could be still be a rocky ride. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is still holding out on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but McCain’s support will allow Trump to breathe easier that Tillerson will be confirmed later on the Senate floor.

over again"

Late 1950 and 60s replay

[BlueCaliDem]

29. Not many. I believe they'll hold off on Sociat Security and Medicare, but try and get rid of

every other Gov't program - including the PPACA.

[sarcasmo]

30. Agreed.

[BlueCaliDem]

33. Now more than ever, congressional Dems need to make a BIG noise so that they won't

be later blamed - which is what the GOP with help of the complacent M$M intend to do.

[dalton99a]

10. Shocking.

[Generator]

18. Yepper John McCain

a man that would sell out Indigenous People sacred land and for a profit and into his back pocket by mining companies foreign ones.

And then the country has Tillerson, that thought that his oligarchy was a country within this country and didn't have to follow rules unless they fit there needs at Exxon-Mobil and the "Private Empire"


I just wonder if McCain remembers that the Chinese and the Russian fought this country and its allies during the Vietnam conflict?

[HelenWheels]

[no_hypocrisy]

26. You voted for him, then you own the consequences.

[BlueStater]

28. I wish I could say I was surprised.

When was the last time McCain did ANYTHING honorable? He talks a good game, then disappoints pretty much every time.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. $500 billion

What Exxon stands to make if Russian sanctions are lifted.

[DonCoquixote]

32. John McCain seems to be

a Republican that Democrats really want to give the benefit of the doubt to, because at one time he was a bit more honest and respectable. let us cease to be fooled by the fact that he keeps on wearing the scars he earned as a prisoner of war as badges. And no I am not going to go ahead and give Marco Rubio any praise for what he is doing, because he two also gave in the Trump.

With T Rex being nominated, food is done what Josef Stalin could only dream of doing.

[Worktodo]

34. Fulfilling their role as token resistance

[eppur_se_muova]

So much for principled Republicans.
