Yes, I agree with that; I had a strong feeling that whoever was the nominee in the third round was going to prevail. The public humiliation for the GOP was becoming too big to ignore. Johnson won the Chair by the dumb luck of timing. Still, it’s shocking to see how easily Trump pulls the strings, and they surrender.

I've never really understood the company man mindset, but I'm an ethos over institutions kind of guy.
That said, good company men in a good company can make great things, so I'm not laying in some smug here.
The problem comes when the company goes bad and the careerists decide to keep on trucking. And so it is here, Emmer does all the work to get the nod, takes the knife and promptly, completely folds.
But he'll probably still be there when Trump is gone, a senior member with attached privileges who is getting invited to the meetings. Or he'll be in the adjacent lobbyist infrastructure pulling the respectable wages.
It's the easy road. Take the hit, show your throat and roll over. Life goes on.
