"He certainly doesn't fit into the typical politician/regulator mold. It's baffling."
He's a shining example of Trump's promise to evict the political class in exchange for the corporate class. Seems to make sense that he'd be so obvious about being a shill, that's what we (as a country, not me or probably you in particular) asked for when we elected Trump.
- eduren 9y agoWhile I agree in general that this is a trend and we will see more of it, keep in mind that Pai was an Obama appointee (at the request of McConnell) in 2012 and Trump simply promoted him to Chairman.
- nicolashahn 9y agoTrue, but given Obama's stance on NN, if he had a theoretical third term I don't think Pai would be Chairman.
