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.
