Rex Tillerson, Ben Carson, Rick Perry, Linda McMahon, Jeff Sessions…
These confirmation hearings are going to be wild.

The past 3 individuals to serve as Secretary of Energy had a doctorate in either physics or engineering; good luck Rick Perry.

But did they make America great? NO!!!
At least there's a good chance Secretary of Energy Rick Perry will forget what he wanted to do to the department in the first place.

Oops.
And this is just amazing:
Remember Rick Perry's oops gaffe, when he forgot the third fed department he wanted to close?
It was Energy, which he's now tapped to run.
