It was impossible not to think her nomination was a pay off to a donor and/or a perfect appointee to kill the entire Department of Education. Hoot! Trump is very clever about use of subtlety, when he wants to stomp on bloated, invasive institutions.

I put Rick Perry as Secretary of Energy in this same category. He is at least as dumb as DeVoss; and once called for the elimination of DoE ... except forgot its name.

I well remember... “ Ooops.”, by Rick Perry. (I nearly died of embarrassment for that awful moment.)

I remember his outrageous attempt at imposing Guardasil on 11 year old Texas girls.

And, his Transcontinental Coridor fiasco. Foiled and expeditiously dispatched, by all Red Texans, to the burn bin.

Fortunately, those three mistakes were his only big ones, compared to the number of betrayals in this current crop of R’s in DC.

He ran TX pretty well and our energy sector is doing VERY well. Just saying.
