If Ted Cruz is to come from behind and win the Republican nomination, it's "gonna take an entire unity effort" to win support from the establishment...

In other words, Cruz needs to sell off what little is left of his integrity.

No the GOPe needs to sell out to back Cruz. No one is saying Cruz needs to change...the message is the GOPe needs to pick a horse.

Really it comes down to 3 options for the GOPe.

1) Trump - then hope he doesn’t hurt down level candidates
2) Cruz - then hope he doesn’t hurt down level candidates

The GOPe is looking to protect their jobs...which in this case who will hurt them the least. If they don’t back Cruz that means they are siding with Trump. So then Trump is the GOPe candidate. If they back Cruz that means Cruz is the GOPe candidate.

So all those calling Cruz GOPe...that means Trump will be GOPe if the GOPe doesn’t back Cruz all-in. So that means Rubio needs to drop out today (before the debate...or if not before he needs to be all out against Trump or Cruz). That will be telling if Rubio attacks Cruz and not Trump (and vice versa). But he also needs to get out before Florida if he’s backing Cruz. If GOPe wants Trump Rubio needs to stay in until after Florida.

All Cruz needs is one-on-one with Trump. The rest is noise.
