Test One: Is Trump An Authoritarian?

The next leader of the Senate Republicans will become Majority Leader in January. McConnell is retiring and the outcome will be determined by secret ballot.

Thune, Scott and Cornyn are running for the position and some have urged Trump not to put his thumb on the scale, even though plenty of MAGA is openly campaigning for Scott. 

If Trump intervenes, Scott is a shoo-in. Trump's natural inclination is to meddle but will his incoming officials be able to keep that in check?

I think Trump can't help himself, so I expect him to endorse Scott like he did last time.
