Rejected?  Seriously?  Why don't you explain how that might come about?  The Republicans will hold 52 Senate seats in the next Congress, along with the Vice President, who breaks any ties.  Thanks to a bit of Democratic Party shortsightedness back in 2013, Cabinet appointments can no longer be filibustered, meaning that Tillerson needs 51 votes to be confirmed.  You can reasonably confident that he'll receive support from the Republican caucus (though Collins is always a wild card), as well as Democrats like Manchin and possibly a few others.

No one cares about your "hopes".  You need to explain how they can become "realities".  Otberwise, you're only whining.
