Rex Tillerson is one step closer to becoming Secretary of State. Tillerson has passed the Senate committee vote and now goes to a full vote in the Senate. With word over the weekend that McCain and Graham will supporter Tillerson, and today that Little Marco will supporter him, Tillerson will become the next Secretary of State. As usual, all Democrats on the committee voted against Tillerson.

Tillerson only needs 50 votes in the Senate to pass, so Democrats have no chance of obstructing.
