Rex Tillerson would have been an excellent choice for an ambassadorship or a role like Commerce Secretary or Trade Rep. He was - in retrospect, but not that surprisingly given his background - over his head trying to manage the multiple challenges of running State.

I was never as critical of Tillerson as some others; he made some sincere & serious efforts to remake State. But that's an ambitious goal for an amateur, & his management of foreign policy suffered. That's on Trump for over-promoting him.

I still think he would have been a great SecState under any other president.

He might have been more successful, at any rate. Dealing with Trump, Trump's own amateurism, being surrounded by generals...he had a lot to deal with.
