Still shaken by Donald Trump's triumph, Republican and conservative foes of the billionaire can still cause headaches for the party's presumptive presidential nominee at this summer's GOP convention. But their options are shrinking by the day.
With Trump's last two rivals — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich — abandoning their campaigns, there's no remaining talk of snatching the nomination away from him with a contested, multi-ballot battle when Republican delegates gather in Cleveland.
Instead, anti-Trump forces are trying to figure out how to use the GOP meetings in July to keep him from reshaping the party and its guiding principles, perhaps with fights over the platform or even his vice presidential pick.

zPeople who can’t back Trump should run to the Bushes... They can get drunk with the prima donnas and cry in their beer together... the Republican version of the pity party.
my immediate reaction!
After the comment Cruz made to a questioner at the Kentucky Derby, I don’t think he’ll endorse/campaign with Trump unless he’s drunk.
As I understand it, neither Cruz nor Kasich abandoned their campaign. They suspended their campaign. Again, as I understand it, a suspended campaign is still very much alive and will continue thus until cancelled.
That was a hoax.
They do have guiding principles. They are how to gain the most power, money, and influence while paying off the donors who pay them for favors.
“...reshaping the party and its guiding principles,...”
WHAT “Guiding Principles”?
Rolling over and peeing on their bellies for Democrats?
Giving in to everything ridiculous demand from Democrats?
If those are their “guiding principles” - and they sure seem to be - they can go to Hell.
All Presidents ignore the platform.
it WAS?!?! Dang, go to work and miss all the good stuff.....
