I mean, the party establishment is for all intents and purposes throwing it's pleas and support behind Ted Cruz, you know the same guy who based his entire Senate campaign and career railing against the GOP establishment is now the Last Hope for them, how sad.

Has Cruz become part of the Establishment now?

Cruz is Establishment in the same way that the USSR was one of the Allies in World War 2.

This. The Establishment only cares about power when it comes to the crunch.

Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh wing, Christian Right has endorsed Cruz; instead of Beck's Pal Kasich. The chance he got now is California

I don't think so, considering that, lately, they've been throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Trump to derail him.  And don't say they just want to get in a white knight on the third ballot because it's not going to happen.

After the House GOP caucus effectively ousted John Boehner, there has been no Republican establishment.

Trumpie is a Trojan horse.

No.

From Cruz's perspective he is not establishment as he represents the Tea Party will of the people.
From the Establishment's perspective, Cruz is not establishment as he is considered a non-team player and a loose cannon.

Both Cruz and the Establishment intensely dislike each other.  Right now both are playing a game of Russian Roulette, trying to use and then outsmart each other.  I predict that both will eventually lose.

It's clear the establishment hates Trump more. A lot of them have been lining up behind Cruz for the sole reason of stopping trump
