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.
Full disclosure. I'm from Canada, so I have no skin in the game of US politics. I try to keep abreast of the competing narratives on both sides, though. I also try to see through the partisan hackery and propaganda on both sides, and ignore the grandstanding, muckraking, ad hominem attacks and the rest of the adolescent nonsense that goes on.
