On the surface, it looks like the Establishment has won this round. But note that Trump only endorsed these two after doing to them what they did to him. He pointedly withheld endorsement, and left them in limbo for awhile. I take that to mean that a message has been sent.
Frankly, I'd prefer an all-out war with these renegades, but that isn't in the cards. Besides, if there were such a war within the party, victory will be impossible. In other words, this endorsement was necessary.
Victory may be remote in any case, but it is still possible. How? At this point, it may be hard to see, but stranger things have happened.
By the way, the party treats Trump as the renegade. But who won the most votes? In that case, the true renegades are in the Establishment.
The renegades are trying to marginalize Trump even though they are the minority within this party. If Trump can show that they are the minority in the country as well, he may well be able to win after all.
When it comes to Sharia and National Security, Trump can win. The majority will not want Sharia, and National Security may figure more highly in this election. The Gold Star flap was not about race, it was about National Security. It was also about the rule of law, in which Sharia stands in direct contradiction.
Too bad Ryan and McCain don't get it.
