I might be wrong, but I do not foresee a lot of resistance to Tillerson.  Bar a few hiccups, I think he's done quite well today, certainly better than I expected.  He's a smart cookie.

Boy, his answer on the Muslim registry was weak.  He should have just said "no".

Rex Tillerson crossed 50 votes to become the next Secretary of State.

Gross.

Edit: Final vote is 56-43.

Sessions just advanced in the senate, 53-45.  Dems were unified against him, with the exception of Manchin the DINO.

Time for Heitkamp and Manchin to start packing.

And put a Republican in their place?  No, thanks.
