The damage being done by not releasing the files is enormous. His poll numbers are plummeting.

His actions tell us that the damage would be exponentially worse if he DID release the files.

Child trafficking is the one thing that his base will not forgive. It is the one thing that would remove his magical aura.

Yes. I am convinced this will take him down, both because of his reactions around it and because of what we know about how republicans think.
