I would imagine that the establishment does not want Trump for the very obvious reason that they do not think he can win in November."

If the GOPe takes out Trump at this point, they will be guaranteeing a Hillary POTUS. Especially if they put someone on the ticket who either didn't run in the primaries, or someone who did and failed. The SAME GOPe that hates Trump, despises and hates Cruz even more.

While I will never vote for Hitlery, I won't support a guaranteed to lose GOPe handpicked hack either.

You are assuming that Trump is the only candidate that can win and you are correct with respect to the thinking of the voter base of which we are both members. And I am not so naive to believe that Romney’s current call to support Cruz would last any longer than the first convention vote. I tend to go with the notion that avid Trump supporters believe he can win but the establishment likely knows he cannot. Do I trust the establishment more than my own instincts? Not necessarily, but I certainly don’t discount their fears or their actions to deny Trump the nomination if he does not have a delegate majority going in. And if in that case, the convention results in someone other than Trump, that nominee must be actively supported to keep the Hillary disaster from even getting close to the White House.
