Actually her selection by the real person behind the curtain was because she is willing to do most anything to rise, thus even easier to control. They had no idea that she actually had no ability to even understand her lines. AOC would have been a better choice - somewhat well controlled and greater wit at playing her lines.

In both selection cases, the patsy turned out not to behave. Joe in a petulant fit ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, a disaster all of his singular decision. Turns out he often breaks his controls.
