Call me naive, but I am not one of the folks who thinks that Trump is going to personally exert long-term influence over the GOP.
1) A lot of his allure came from the idea that he's a "winner." He's now been repeatedly proven to be a loser.

2) We're going to hear more phone calls, tapes, etc. and other evidence showing some of the terrible things Trump has done that we haven't even thought of yet. This is NOT going to add to his political capital.
3) Trump is almost undoubtedly going to face charges. And could be convicted. He could even face prison time. None of which will help his clout or reputation. Especially not when any evidence strong enough to warrant such a prosecution comes out.
4) It has to be mentioned that he's also a 74 1/2 year old obese man who recently had COVID and is not known for either having a good diet or exercise.
Putting all of this together, this just does not have "Will be a force in the Republican Party for Years To Come" written all over it.
