Is The Tea Party still a force in American politics?

The Tea Party began in 2009 in response to what they deemed excessive government intervention (e.g. TARP, ObamaCare, the stimulus). Aligning itself with the Republican party it stressed ideological purity and fiscal conservatism and helped the Republican Party win The House of Representatives in 2010. In its early years its influence was supreme; in the House: the newly formed Freedom Caucus pushed the Republican conference rightward and helped depose John Boehner who they deemed too moderate. In the Senate: Rand Paul led a 12 hour filibuster over a government surveillance program that went viral, while Ted Cruz helped shut down the government in 2013 to protest ObamaCare. Four election cycles and a President later the situation is more complicated. While still a force in American politics it is a diminished one in the wake of the right wing populism of President Trump. Republicans are no longer evaluated by their fealty to small government ideology but rather to the cult of personality of the President himself. This new status can be seen in the changed fortunes of Tea Party stalwarts: Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are isolated in the Senate, The Freedom Caucus were blamed for sinking the first ObamaCare repeal in the House, and the Koch brothers have been replaced by the Mercers as the billionaires-du-jour. All in all while The Tea Party is still a force in American politics it does not have the influence or reach that it used to.
