TRUMP'S ANTI-RUSSIA PICK FOR AMBASSADOR TO NATO PLEASES THE SENATE

Trump said NATO was obsolete. That he was going to pull the USA out of NATO.

But he's picked someone who is very anti-Russia to be Ambassador to NATO.

And that has pleased the Senate very much.

“Few statesmen have the qualifications, the relationships, and gravitas that Senator Hutchison brings to this position,” Cruz told the panel. “After years of inadequate resourcing, Kay led an effort in the Senate to rebuild our military and helped prepare it to meet the new, more stringent demands of the global war on terror.”

...Added [Tim] Kaine: “Kay Bailey, I’m so excited you’re the nominee. Your nomination sends a signal the NATO relationship is an important one.”

Is that really the Tim Kaine who was Clinton's running mate? Yes. Really.

Senator Hutchison, Trump's pick for NATO envoy, seems headed for confirmation https://t.co/lPhbb9ZUkb
