Not uncommon for either side to pick Industrial Giants for their Cabinet but this one will definitely leave a bad taste in your mouth when you realize that he is real tight with the Russian Oil Business.

If you were okay with HRC as SoS you should be more than fine with Tillerson. Let's review HRC's experience for the role of SoS. A disbarred lawyer from Arkansas married to a former president that was impeached and a two term senator from the bluest district in the bluest state (a place she had never lived before running there). She was put there to win a seat that anyone with a "D" after their name would win. She gets her clock cleaned on her first run at the Oval by an unknown community organizer from Chicago.
That was her experience leading up to the nomination for SoS. Tillerson has forgotten more than HRC has ever known about how the world really works, how to negotiate with experience negotiators and deliver a real result.
As the CEO of Exxon and Russia being one of the largest producers of oil there was no way he could not be in many deal with them. To think something nefarious if that is to not understand how the petroleum business works. It is a global commodity and these deals are struck where the resource is being drilled.

I lead with "If you were okay" for the record but I've seen you defend the current administration and the foreign policy exploits of her and Obama. Are you trying to tell me you differ with her on things like:
1. Supporting the "arab spring" in Egypt (and other places) that had to be undone with a coup.
2. The meddling in Libya that has left ISIS essentially in charge and lead to Benghazi the terrorist attack started by a video tape on September 11th (of something like that).
3. The Syria policy that has lead to the worst refugee crisis since WWII and the death of tens of thousands.
4. The Russian reset. Ha! What an absolute joke that was.
5. The Iran nuke deal (started under her, disastrously completed under Kerry)
Tell me where I am going wrong here.
