I didn't comment publicly either way before Tillerson was confirmed, but if I had commented I would have said I preferred someone who understood how diplomacy worked. But having gone through a year of Tillerson, I would concede a smart guy can usually pick things up quickly. Like I said, he was getting there and might have become a good SoS, but he was tired of not being in charge, especially when he thought his boss was a ___ moron. You always have to be careful about expressing your opinions in public, especially when you're not the boss.
