With Donald Trump's path to the nomination looking wider by the day, a number of top Republicans are signaling their willingness to support his candidacy — even some who have fiercely criticized him in the past.
This softening opposition indicates that the GOP establishment is reaching the "acceptance stage" of the grieving process, even as Sen. Ted Cruz and his new running mate Carly Fiorina try to mount a last stand in Indiana.
The shift reflects the intensity of loathing for Cruz among elements of the party as much as it does their begrudging acceptance of Trump.

The real battle will begin in January.
It’s time for Cruz and his supporters to face reality, get on the Trump train and work on defeating Hillary and the Dems.
There will be other times and opportunities for Cruz later on.
McCloud-Strife,
If your username is based off of the game Final Fantasy 7, like mine is, you should know that Cloud Strife, Tifa and Barrett would all agree with Trump and he is making Midgar great again :)
PS: For everyone else, inside joke for fans of the game. Trump 2016.
The GOP is what caused Trump.
When rape is imminent ....
Hope they’re not expecting acceptance of the GOPe by the voters anytime soon.
In your dreams.
Today Trump picked up a few more percent in the general election when we saw thousands of illegals rioting to prevent him from speaking.
And, the cowardly local LE and Secret Service making him go in by the back door instead of driving up to the entrance like he should. I saw hundreds of Federal felonies on TV today and no arrests. They should have been arresting these guys by the hundreds and shipping them to Joe Arpaio's tent city for a few weeks of spring camping.
So what this means is the establishment now has to be vetted for those pretending support for Trump rather than a simple interest in keeping their established position.
LOL! More made-up "data" by a desperate foot stamper.
All indications are that Cruz always appealed to a narrower base than Trump and Cruz has been alienating a lot of his base with his "stalwart" efforts to thwart the will of the People.
Trump will likely resemble Reagan's outcome and Cruz would make Romney look like a master campaign closer....
But not scumbag George Will.
More made up stats
Just from a suffolk university poll via the drudge report. You betcha I just pulled it out of my ass. Facts are very inconvenient to Trump supporters

Unlike the Cruz supporters who gleefully tell us that more people have voted against Trump than have voted for him - while ignoring that even more have voted against Cruz than have voted for him (Trump has a couple million more votes than Cruz) and don't have a problem when Cruz does what they have been sniveling about as the GOPe has thwarted the will of the People time and again. Funny how the "Champion of the People works so hard to thwart the People and try for a back door route that entails working with the system that he claims to want to crush....
Some "stats" are valid and others are red herrings designed to obscure the real truth - bend over and produce all that you want - it won't change reality.....
