The republicans are in a can't win situation here. If Trump gets the nomination either by winning enough delegates or at the open convention a good portion of the party hates him and may not support him. If he doesn't get the nomination his supporters (even if he doesn't run as an independent) will be pissed off and will likely not support Cruz. If they pick someone other than Cruz or Trump they face the possibility have having most of the party revolt.
It's likely going to be a shit show no matter what happens.

Adding to this, reibus has already started working on ensuring the GOP supports whoever wins the nom. Trump has also made a strategic shift to be more presidential and also will be meeting directly and face to face with delegates as well as having already been invited to give the keynote speech at a big delegate event.
