As I understand, he doesn't get to pick anyone he likes to ensure loyalty. They have to be approved. The swamp is in charge of approving who gets in. Therein lies the problem. That's why backstabbing is so rampant around Trump, it's swamp approving swamp to "investigate" swamp to continue the swamp. This is effectively confirming all checks and balances in our government is corrupt and now their voter fraud attempt is to completely silence our voices by saying we voted for this corruption.

Trump has used his salesman tactics to engender an intense loyalty from his base of voters. That lever of populist power has enabled him to effectively take over the Republican party. This is what House and Senate members fear, and why they have all fallen into lockstep with him. With a single tweet, Trump can destroy GOP political careers. Can a political party function successfully without debate, dissent and a diversity of ideas? Perhaps the election outcome is the harvest of Trump's own toil in the barren ground of rot and ruin caused by his own mismanagement and failings. Why doesn't the buck stop with him? His other colleagues in the Party did just fine in their election races. His 'Elite Strike Force' legal team had the 'Best People', but they were only able to win a single challenge in court. Maybe he just lost. It seems terrible in this immediate moment, but it could herald a turning point for the Republican party. They consistently lose the popular vote, and if they cry 'fraud' each and every time, then how will that help them to adopt better long-term strategies?
