    The article clearly demonstrates a bias towards Trump and his supporters. The author uses language that depicts Trump's supporters in a positive light, such as 'remarkable show of loyalty', 'tightened his grip on much of his party's base and elected officials', and 'Club 47 fan group'. The author also quotes Sen. John Barrasso using the phrase 'We’re all committed to make sure he becomes the 47th president.' This is an example of bias as it reflects a clear preference for Trump over other political figures.

          The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author uses phrases like 'complete capitulation by the GOP', 'getting the team back together', and 'omnipotence over his party' to express his opinion about the events described in the article.
