I think it's pretty early to anticipate what happens to the Trump-Republican brand when all settles. Short term, I don't expect Trump to have the party slip through his greedy little hands, but the Trump Brand is damaged good in the broader public sphere. There will likely be efforts to primary those Republicans that are not a part of his chosen ones. What that will mean in a 2022 General Election is much more speculator. I see more and more Republicans realigning as Independents and Democrats around the country. Soon, Trump himself will have his hands full defending an array of legal challenges both criminal and civil. Additionally, legal issues involving Ivanka and Don Jr are likely to muddy things more as people realize how deep the Trump family corruption goes. A Trump branded Republican Party faces far more obstacles down the road. The Trump portion of the Republican party is going to shrink its electoral impact.

Held captive in the Midwest but I love San Francisco, black coffee, chardonnay and diet coke. My vice is SF Giants baseball. I'm the poet you are running from.
