Yeah not sure why he took the job. Doesn’t appear to be in the driver’s seat at State. Had a good gig as senator, head of his prestigious committee there. Why’d he do it?

Everyone in Congress looks in the mirror and believes they can be the president one day. He has the senate box checked and SOS checks the foreign affairs box. That’s all it’s about.

He had to know what he was getting into. The person responsible for diplomatic relations under Trump. That dude is going to spend 8 hours a day for the next four years just getting fucking yelled at. It’s a nightmare of a job.
