She seems to think that she would have some control over oil and gas leases by being Secretary of Energy in a Trump administration.

(12,151 posts)In Sept. 2008, Palin prepped for her first network interview with ABC News's Charlie Gibson. The campaign advisers found that, although she'd made some progress with her studies, her grasp of rudimentary facts and concepts was minimal. Palin couldn't explain why South and North Korea were separate nations. She didn't know what the Fed did. Asked who attacked American on 9/11, she suggested several times that it was Saddam Hussein. Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, sh drew a blank. (Palin's horrified advisers provided her with scripted replies, which she memorized.)

Ronald Reagan, aligned with the Sagebrush Rebellion (western cattle and sheep interests wanting more raping rights on federal range lands), appointed her to be EPA Administrator. Her job -- kill EPA. And she almost did. EPA was seriously wounded and never fully recovered, thanks to the embedding of RW Rethugs in career positions. Just as they were retiring out, Pres. GW Bush put in replacements. Yes, I can see DoE Sec. Sarah Palin dismantling the DoE. They have learned the long-game on how to kill agencies. The crazies must not get control of government again. That is why we all must vote a straight DEM ticket, regardless of being sore if our candidate fails in the primary.
You are absolutely correct. Thank you for the history and the wise advice.
