What's crazy is the Dept of Energy would be one of the last we'd get rid of - it's the one in charge of our nukes

Perry was apparently very surprised when he found that out - after he’d already accepted the job!

Even then Perry was a long way from being Trump’s worst pick for his cabinet whivh really tells you something about those folks.

According to The New York Times, Perry accepted the nomination under the assumption that he would be a cheerleader for deregulating the energy industry, boosting oil and gas, and touring the world promoting American energy—a job that, as the former governor of Texas, he believed himself qualified to do. Within days, however, he learned that his chief responsibilities as energy secretary would be maintaining nearly 1,400 nuclear inventories, including several thousand active nuclear warheads, at a time when Russia and China are modernizing their nuclear capabilities and North Korea is working to perfect its own.

I never understand why these journalists don't just 'gotcha' the candidate.

"So, you're for unilateral nuclear disarmament by the United States, then?"
"I didn't say that."
"You said you wanted to eliminate the Department of Energy. That's what it does."

Tbf this was Fox so expecting any follow up questions when GOP candidates say utter nonsense is a bit unrealistic.
 
What a coward.


Yhr peaceful transfer of power is a bedrock of democracy, if you can’t make any statement supporting the principle you don’t deserve to be elected.

Politicians are just the worst. Some clearly more than others, but 99.9% of them are dishonest. It’s all a big game to them, truth be damned.
