About as likely as some random mid level Microsoft PM getting a role in the Harris administration via blog post about Agile. Cliff isn't some giant in meteorology, he's just a prof and Seattle weather blogger. He says in the comments, "I am not endorsing a candidate on this blog. I am having FUN," but you are polarized enough to think that any form of non-critical satirizing is an endorsement. That's fine. Cliff is a moderate which many leftists in Seattle misread as hard trump supporter.
How many trump staffers read his blog, do you think? Are weather models a hot topic among them?
But I’m not saying just what role he might find tempting. Focusing on the particular role is a red herring.
There are lots of opportunities for disruptive people with big plans who don’t mind wearing the hat to get there. As we have seen recently.
