This. Trump is going to wield considerable power even when he leaves the White House and will continue to make/break Republican figures whose electoral base includes large numbers of Trump supporters.
I said before the 2016 election that I thought Trump would destroy the Republican party. It's happened ... although not exactly in the way I had anticipated. It's truly mind-boggling that a person as generally stupid & inept as Donald Trump could attract so much support & cause such disruption, but that appears to be where we are. It seems like the only way to check Trumpism is for the Democrats to continue to turn out unprecedented numbers of voters ... & that's not an altogether reassuring prospect as there's not exactly unity of purpose on the Democratic side either.
