Bloomberg reports that Trump is likely to choose Rick Perry to head the Department of Energy.

Two Democratic senators from energy-producing states — Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia — are also in the mix, along with Ray Washburne, a Dallas investor and former chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Trump met with Perry and Washburne while attending the Army-Navy football game in Baltimore on Saturday. It was at least the second time he’d spoken to the two men for potential roles in the new administration.

    Maybe energy was the third agency he was going to cut. Maybe they’ll cut it before he can be sworn in.

      He will cut it when he decides he is tired of doing “work”.

          Well they believe “work” is something the rest of us do.

            Work is what WE are supposed to do to get their Society Dinners and Parties ready for THEM.

    Isn’t that one of the departments he forgot during the presidential debates?

      One of the three he wanted to get rid of, I think.

    “Mr. Perry, how many types of energy sources does the US have?”
    “Uh… one, two…. I forget.”
