-- But there also seems to be a toxically vocal, albeit small contingent of dissenters who are stirring up a lot of trouble at the moment. --

The press with amplify the heck out of that dissent, encourage it, probably pay for some of it.

Bill Kristol is still on the third party thing, saying that filing deadlines in Texas and NC are susceptible to falling on a lawsuit, and the he is working with a Republican and a Democrat to explore in detail, including polling. Kristol is disappointed in Ryan sounding open to Trump's candidacy (although if you read the Ryan/Trump release, the unification is behind principles, not behind candidates).

Cruz in part of the #NeverTrump contingent, as is the Bush family, Romney, probably Ryan (but Ryan doesn't yet dare to be open with it).

-- I'm sure there's enough diehards who avidly believe they can still steal the nomination from Trump @ Convention. --

Yep, thousands of them, many of them in position of delegates at the convention.

“The press with amplify the heck out of that dissent, encourage it, probably pay for some of it.”

Yes, they’ve already been doing that. Doesn’t seem to be terribly effective—yet. It might also backfire some and make Trump more popular, if the wrong people are seen as being against him.

“Bill Kristol is still on the third party thing, saying that filing deadlines in Texas and NC are susceptible to falling on a lawsuit, and the he is working with a Republican and a Democrat to explore in detail, including polling.”

Someone probably needs to have a ‘talk’ with that guy and persuade him out of it.

“Kristol is disappointed in Ryan sounding open to Trump’s candidacy (although if you read the Ryan/Trump release, the unification is behind principles, not behind candidates).”

Sneaky rats.

“Cruz in part of the #NeverTrump contingent, as is the Bush family, Romney, probably Ryan (but Ryan doesn’t yet dare to be open with it).”

I figured as much. And I think Ryan needs to be compelled into resigning. ASAP.
