Palin eyeing energy secretary in potential Trump administration
CNN ^ | 01/18/2016 | Eugene Scott

Sarah Palin knows the position she wants in a Donald Trump administration: Energy secretary.

"I think a lot about the Department of Energy, because energy is my baby: oil and gas and minerals, those things that God has dumped on this part of the Earth for mankind's use instead of us relying on unfriendly foreign nations," she told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview that aired Sunday on State of the Union.

She can be in charge of dismantling it.

the department of energy shouldn’t even exist

Most of its budget goes for activities that were inherited from the Atomic Energy Commission. Yes, it is a fraud that DOE has much to do with energy. Fortunately it has very little to do with it.

Misleading headline AGAIN. This article is from September 2015.

I think Cruz’s plan to abolish the Energy Department makes more sense. I had always assumed that Palin would become Interior Secretary.

Sessions is a lone voice in the Senate, or close to it. Find someone like him for DHS.

You mean if Cruz leaves.

But this has always bugged me about Cruz in the Senate: ok, I get that he wasn't going to get McCain or Graham to side with him. But why was he unable in his filibuster to even get Sessions to support him?

I’d rather see her at EPA to clean house. They need to RIF about 50% and then take a close look at those remaining. Shoot for getting down to between 15% and 25% after two or three years.

Cruz proposes eliminating the Department of Energy.

Trump sells the Secretary of Energy position for an endorsement.

Just sayin’

Disgusting.

As conservatives, we should be more in favor of abolishing the Department of Energy, a la Cruz’s plans, but the Trumpettes have lost any sense of principle in support of their man.

(This is not a comment about Palin, nor her ability to be successful in a role that should be eliminated.)

Well said!!

I have always been amazed at how 99% of the country, (including many Freepers), has no idea what DOE’s main function is.

The sad thing is, it seems like most DOE Secretaries have had no idea either.

You know what? You’re right. This was posted on Twitter, and dated January 18, 2016 there, but it’s September 2015 on CNN. My mistake.

great strategy for Trump to kill the opponent as early as possible

It's interesting and refreshing that Trump approaches winning like a surgeon does surgery.

Use the knife, but do as little damage as possible - just enough to get the job done.

Breaks my heart to see how the GOP has become a insane asylum. Trump is a whore at heart. Shame to see Palin working the same street corner as trump does.

Reality TV gigs seem to be running out for the Palins, time to insert herself into the biggest TV show of the all.

I liked her quite a bit before she came out with her support for Front National and the Le Pen clan in France. Well, both Le Pen and Trump like Putin a lot, so Sarah belongs to this company of useful fools.
