Most of the GOP members of Congress aren't afraid of #Trump, they're afraid of Trump's _base_ primarying them. Nearly all of them loathe Trump and would be very happy if they could get rid of him while still preserving GOP power.
They're looking at the #EpsteinFiles and how #MAGA is reacting to them and saying to themselves hmm, maybe this, finally, is the thing that will stick to Trump and make his base turn on him.

I wouldn't place any bets on it, but I think it's possible that they're right that this could end up being the thing that brings Trump down. Personally, I'm sure hoping for that.
As for whether there's anyone else who will be able to hold the Trump coalition together and maintain GOP power after Trump's gone? I personally think that's highly doubtful.
This is why I think we need to keep pushing as hard as we can on the Epstein Files. It may not work, but it's the tool we've got right now.
