Condoleeza Rice Just Did What No One Thought Shed Ever Do... America Has Been Waiting For This For months, Republican leaders have been hoping the 6th Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice would endorse Donald Trump for president. Though she has failed to do so thus far, she did just respond to Trumps latest decision for Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobile. Rex Tillerson is an excellent choice for Secretary of State, Rice wrote in a Facebook post. He will bring to the post remarkable and broad international experience; a deep understanding of the global economy; and a belief in Americas special role in the world. I know Rex as a successful business man and a patriot. He will represent the interests and the values of the United States with resolve and commitment. And he will lead the exceptional men and women of the State Department with respect and dedication. I look forward to supporting Rex through the confirmation process and then welcoming him to the family of Secretaries of State, she concluded. The endorsement was a powerful one and goes to show that Trump has made a lot of very strong choices for his cabinet so far. Rice wasnt the only one to recognize that; Robert Gates was also thrilled at the decision. He is a person of great integrity whose only goal in office would be to protect and advance the interest of the United States, Gates commented. What do you think? Could this be a step forward for Donald Trump with his harshest critics?
