    Pretty much exactly this. You stick useless people in these important roles so they can’t get enough traction to try for your chair, but you also want people who are at least smart enough to do whatever you tell them to do. Patel is actually a smart pick, he’s just too dumb to know how to push around actual field agents and only knows how to push around analysts and media.
