The facts are what they are. Trump, whether you like it or not, or whatever anyone else thinks about it, has tapped into the groundswell against establishment politicians.

A sleazeball who is an enemy of your enemy is not someone you should align with unless absolutely necessary.

If we have a bitter, slug-fest at the convention where a Trump with maybe 1150 or more delegates is denied the nomination, the results will almost assuredly throw the election to Hillary which will be far worse for our nation.

If Trump has only 1150 delegates at the convention that means that 1322 (i.e. the majority) are against Trump. Since Trump hasn't figured out yet that he has to earn the balance he would need on a second (or later) ballot by being fair to his competitors, then he does not deserve the nomination and is not the negotiator he claims to be.

If Hillary gets elected, perhaps the decent Trump supporters will take the time to learn something about math and nomination politics before the next election.

Say what you will.

We can wait and see what the convention brings.

Far better at this point to recognize and drive home the fact that in terms of GOP voters and delegates, well over 70% of both are aligned with the two anti-establishment candidates and for those two candidates to come together and unite the vast majority of voters and slam dunk the GOPe in the process.

That would be best for the GOP and for the country.

Those are my thoughts...others can certainly disagree...but that is what I hope happens.
