Tillerson? Not So Fast.
Insiders at Politico are reporting this morning that the Tillerson nomination is already in serious trouble mainly due to his ties with Vladimir Putin as we discussed this weekend. Marco Rubio is apparently begging the Cheeto transition team for another body, and bipartisan resistance to the nomination is rising. It seems that all this attention on CJ’s ties (and other members of the inner circle’s) ties to the Russian despot is finally starting to get traction. McCain has even issued a statement questioning the wisdom of this nomination.
I know, I know, let’s not get our hopes up.
