The left pretty much shot themselves in the head on this one. Pruitt was a lightening rod that never stopped giving. His replacement will almost certainly be scandal free, devoted to the same actions, and essentially untouchable.
The mistake made by the left is in forgetting that the policy originates not from Pruitt, but from Trump.
Another thing that is going to happen is that the specific issues will now be forced into the public eye. Opponents of the Trump agenda will be forced to argue the detailed policy decisions on their merits instead of yelling about Pruitt’s peccadilloes (no, that is not a small mammal).
