Basically, I am saying that that trump is going to eventually leave the race and endorse someone else and in return will have some sort of additional political clout within the party. This is a very important election that the republicans need to win since there could be up to 3 supreme court justices retiring and the last realistic chance for a republican reversal of Obamacare.
The bold part is me saying that he carefully picked this battle so that he could maximize his leverage. First by picking an election where there was no incumbent, and second by entering when there was no clear leader among republicans.
