Pruitt remains in office because he is a corporate shill.

Pruitt spends like a drunken sailor. First class tickets? Why does he think he’s so special? I thought the Republicans were crying about a balanced budget when Obama was in office? Well don’t complain when the Democrats spend money when they get in.....

Dare to dream.

When the pendulum swings and Democrats are in control, Republicans will wring their hands and carry on about the awful debt and how something needs to be done.

Why in heaven's name would Republicans want to get rid of Pruitt? He's their poster boy -- undermine environmental regulations, shill for corporate interests, spend like a drunken sailor.

Right. Oklahoma wants him back for that reason, and also so he can run for State Corporation Commissioner, take campaign money from corporations, especially oil companies, he will regulate and do favors for them after he wins.

I don't expect him to last much longer.

I think Trump will be better off without him, too. Like Tillerman, Pruitt's choice was a bad mistake that came from Trump and his team's inexperience.
Since Pompeo has done so well so soon after replacing Tillerman, I think Trump is now more aware that there are better people out there for the EPA than Pruitt for both the job and for Trump.

But who could Trump get to replace Pruitt that is as committed as he is to setting back environmental regulations 100 years. Maybe they could bring James G. Watt back from the dead. Anyone remember him?
