Sessions came somewhat unexpected and you can keep going but for the most part those were his hand-picked teammates, most of which we already knew would not be loyal and they were criticized here soon as they were picked.

Then just yesterday, Trump endorses McCarthy Speaker despite being warned of McCarthy’s RINO reputation. I want to see Jim Jordan run for Speaker myself. McCarthy would just be another self-inflicted knife in the back.
“I want to see Jim Jordan run for Speaker myself. McCarthy would just be another self-inflicted knife in the back.”
In 2018 Jim Jordan ran against McCarthy for leadership of House Republicans. The vote was 159 to 43 for McCarthy. Remember the Republicans under Speaker Paul Ryan had lost the majority and Ryan had quit Congress to make money in the private sector. McCarthy was Ryan’s choice to succeed.
Why would Jordan have a better chance of winning today? Establishment Republicans, not hard core conservatives, comprise the majority of Republicans in the House.
