See, I disagree with this rhetoric because it suggests that the majority of Republicans support Trump. 35% of primary voters have. 65% of primary voters have voted for other candidates. 30% voted for Cruz and 22% voted for Rubio. Trump is that far ahead of Cruz in that sense. 

Trump also has the highest unfavorable rating of the Republicans left when rated by Republican voters, more than he is liked. So they can argue that more will be upset with his nomination than would be upset by him not getting it.
