That's how Ryan became the Republican leader, and it's how McCarthy became the leader.
Nobody is willing to challenge them, because they all fear retaliation if they lose. That means that nobody is a real coalition builder in the GOP. If they were, they could withstand losing because the bloc would still have their backs.
It's a shame that Republicans simply don't know how to unify like the Democrats do.

Paul Ryan supports open borders and amnesty. He hates what the base stands for. He’s a charlatan.
