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?
Trump has taken over the Republican party as far as the people, but certainly not the officials, hence the backstabbing and lukewarm responses from most of them. His own failures may be that he went in thinking the Republicans had his back and were as tribal as the Democrats, but has been proven wrong in that aspect. I think the Republicans who are quiet or backstabbing (majority) are/have been banking on voter fraud moving forward as well, cutting deals with Democrats to give the illusion of two parties competing when they're in bed together. As far as the courts, the judges are mostly activists who are in on the steal. They don't even listen to the evidence before their minds are made up and to my knowledge, no judge has thrown out their cases because their evidence has no merit. The judges dismiss before it even gets to that point. I think the Republicans future is to mimic the Democrats. Voter fraud, disarm the people, scare them with theatrics like Covid into submission, and act like we voted for all this so it's justified. That's unless Trump derails them from this track while he's still President.
I'm not sure that Trump has any sort of master plan to derail anything at this point. His political endgame is being played out right now as he assiduously reinforces this narrative of a stolen election. He’s set the hook in the minds of his followers that corrupt Democrats are the true blame, but he’s also widening the net to include traitorous GOP swing state governors and judges as well as Fox News and other GOP ‘RINO’ heretics that have exited Trumpland and recognized Biden’s victory. Why does he persist in this charade? The answer is simple: by perpetuating the myth of a stolen election he can avoid the admission of having suffered defeat and thus bow out of politics as the swindled victim who was denied his rightful second term in the White House. His hope is to save face in the eyes of his supporters and the sympathetic right-wing media. After Jan 20th who knows what his next move will be. My money right now is he'll return to The Apprentice, or maybe pull of some segue grift that leverages his status as former President. Maybe starting that Trump TV enterprise that we've heard rumor of.
