The best poll thus far for Trump shows 13% or so of the GOP still not behind him, which is twice as high as it needs to be for things to be "normal".
I've been saying for awhile that I don't expect the GOP to be fractured come Election Day: they are still very much the party of "get in line"...even if one or more factions are prone every cycle to pitch a bloody fit and/or burn segments of the party down. The Chris McDaniel/Thad Cochran episode is probably the best recent example, and the mainliners are going to do the same thing as the Tea Party types in this circumstance. Look at how quickly all of this public fuss has faded and how difficult of a time the #NeverTrumpeteers are having finding any viable opposition. They're not going to stay home, they're not going to vote Democratic and they're not going to vote third-party.
