Updated | In a sign of how truly dire things have become for the GOP this presidential election cycle, an increasing number of big-name Republicans are turning to Ted Cruz—arguably the party's least-liked member—in an effort to prevent the current front-runner, Donald Trump, from hijacking the party's nomination.

As Cruz is fond of pointing out, he is the only Republican besides Trump still running who could conceivably capture the 1,237 delegates necessary to secure the party's nomination. Even so, it's a long shot. Cruz now has 413 delegates, and to reach 1,237 he needs about 78 percent of all remaining delegates. Trump, meanwhile, needs 559 more delegates, or about 53 percent of those remaining—no mean feat, but his path to the nomination is clearer than anyone else's at this point.

....That is why the Republican Party appears poised to throw its support behind the junior senator from Texas, despite his repeated run-ins with the party brass. On Thursday, Cruz won the grudging support of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who until December was one of Cruz's rivals for the Republican nomination. Graham's antipathy for his fellow senator is well known, but he told CNN: "I think he's the best alternative to Donald Trump. He's certainly not my preference, Senator Cruz is not, but he's a reliable Republican conservative."
