Back to Romney. I wish he was not on the list. But I am willing to hear Trump out on it. I wish John Tyler had not had Daniel Webster as Secretary of State, either. I don't always get my way.
Great. Just what we need - another proponent of Common Core - top down education for our country.
I remember Exxon was a yuuuuuge supporter of Common Core. They made a ton of commercials pushing it. Didn't think of it with Tillerson. Both DeVoss and Tillerson are huge supporters and both are in the cabinet. Not good for those hoping a new GOP admin would reject it.
They claim Tillerson is a conservative, but little is known of his personal political beliefs. I'm sure we'll be finding out more soon.
Now that just really surprises me that Trump would veer off his campaign promises. I am shocked.

Carbon Tax, Climate, Trade, Education Policy Concerns Arise with Trump’s Likely Secretary of State Selection Tillerson
President-elect Donald Trump may have demonstrated another instance of veering from his core campaign policy platforms with a major cabinet selection in his likely Secretary of State pick, ExxonMobil CEO and chairman Rex Tillerson.
Now that just really surprises me that Trump would veer off his campaign promises. I am shocked.

He's also a big supporter of free trade, which shouldn't be a surprise, but which puts him at odds with Trump's current line of thought.
What Trump supporters will say is that it doesn't matter their personal opinion on the issues, they will promote the POTUS' wishes.
David, I read someone saying they voted for Trump because he pushed back at the media. That wasn't good enough for me, because so did Ted Cruz who has a solid Conservative track record.
Anyway, we will give Trump credit when it is deserved and criticize him when he doesn't deserve it - just like everyone else. I don't bow at the feet of Trump.
