aaaand we're here

This is my biggest concern. When jackass Rick Perry said years ago he wanted to eliminate the Department of Energy, I expected this would be a talking point republicans would stick to. Because it got their voters excited. The uneducated hear "Department of Energy" and they think "these people are make my gas and electricity more expensive". When their actual job is safeguarding nuclear weapons. This might just be more grandstanding, but it's not good.

Rick Perry famously had a list of three departments that he wanted to eliminate, but after naming the first two, he forgot what the third one was. It was the department of energy. So of course that's the department Trump put him in charge of. He was reportedly shocked to learn that he had been put in charge of the nation's nuclear weapons. He wanted to eliminate the department of energy despite having absolutely no idea what it does. Par for the course these days.

And that sank his presidential campaign right there. Just think about it. This guy just forgot about his big policy proposal - he had a policy, he didn't constantly change it, he didn't even lie about it, he just forgot about it for a second in the heat of the moment. That sank his campaign.

What a simpler time it had been.
