You're right on pointing out how the first two points have been close to nullified thanks to Delta's organizational trends and Gamma's lack of well... much of anything, really. However, wouldn't Gamma still impart a mild amount of shear at the low to mid-levels? This probably would not have much of an impact on Delta (if it organizes a strong inner core like it appears to be doing so), but it might be worth seeing if it serves as a bit of an inhibitor on Delta's potential as it approaches Cuba.
In terms of Gamma pivoting Delta westward, such a scenario seems to be getting further and further unlikely. Although, it must then be wondered why this morning's runs have shifted westward regardless...
There may not be much of anything left of the system at 500mb in a few days, especially if it fails to regenerate any convection (think VHTs) near the center. I suspect its entire 3D vortical structure will continue to degrade. Watch for this trend in the 500MB height/vort/wind init panels, which serve as a decent proxy for analyses.
I think you might be in the wrong thread, this is for Delta not Gamma.
He's talking about the ability of Gamma to exert some influence over track of Delta.
