Transition Team/Cabinet Thread

[EnglishPete]

Hopefully this CIA news prevents a Tillerson nomination. I never thought I'd be rooting so hard for Romney.

Romney would be terrible. Trump made clear with the recent Taiwan phone call business that he will be conducting his foreign policy to a significant extent himself and using the medium of social media as a tool as he has in the election. for that reason its important to avoid sending out mixed messages that would confuse things. Picking a SoS who is not on the same wavelength as Trump on foreign policy. If not Tillerson then who?

Canada/Europe - please invade before these Putinist piles of garbage get into power.

The anti-Russian hysteria really seems to have gone into overdrive today. You know they're not the Soviet Union anymore (maybe that's the problem for the libs)

NBC is the only outlet reporting that Tillerson is Trump's pick.

Could they be wrong? Please be wrong.

Its now also being reported by Gotnews.com, who are a pretty good source, that the announcement of Tillerson will happen on Tuesday

You mean he has shaken hands with a foreign leader after conducting negotiations. Clearly a shocking thing for a secretary of state to do!
