Ryan helped the media attack Trump by making the story abut the non-endorsement but he did that before the debate. Trump did well by turning around the negatives from his videotape into a very nice attack on Bill and Hillary during the debate. He also did better on policy throughout the debate. But that just slowed down the media assault temporarily. Ryan didn't have much role in the narrative post-debate, that was mainly Trump initiating..

Trump needs to refocus on attacking Hillary and only Hillary. Maybe he still has some time left for that.

Nope. Monday morning media narrative all shifted to Ryan dumps Trump. Sorry, I watched it happen. Trump didn’t attack Ryan until after that. IF Trump doesn’t get GOP voters onside it doesn’t matter how much he attacks Hillary. He won’t win.

First he has to shore up his base and reassure them that he is in it to win against all odds. Time enough to get back to Hillary then, and soon enough.
