Omarosa's role in the White House will reportedly focus on public engagement (presumably in the White House’s Office of Public Engagement), similar to the role held by actor Kal Penn.

A Wall Street lawyer appointed to the commission which oversees Wall Street.  How nice.

Keep draining that swamp!

If McCain isn't down that means Graham isn't either, getting close to not getting confirmed.

McCain, Graham, and Paul is enough to stop Tillerson, provided Manchin doesn't betray his team.

And also assuming every single Democrat votes No.

Sounds like a Pence pick.

I was excited to hear Townsend and Rogers thrown around for this one, but it wouldn't be a terrible choice In regards to this Russia mess. Coats seems clear-eyed about Putin from what I understand.

I think Sasse, Flake, and Lee are also likely to vote against Tillerson. He needs several Democratic defections to get confirmed

I can see Collins voting against Tillerson, as well, probably.

Hopefully Schumer and Durbin will be very clear that any democrat who votes for Tillerson is kissing their committee assignments goodbye.

John Schindler's stance is "could be much worse," and I will echo that.

Coats was Rummy's competition for Pentagon during GWB, interestingly enough
