I disagree completely. As soon as the primaries started and Ted showed he could win, establishment GOP congressmen came out in numbers SUPPORTING Trump over Cruz saying Trump would work with them. They claimed nobody in DC liked Cruz because he wouldn’t’ bend. At the very same time, as if coordinated, Trump began his attack of Cruz calling him a “mean guy, who nobody likes.” Many GOP Congressmen flooded national media on every station claiming Cruz has shown his unwillingness to work with them so they are supporting Trump instead. I don’t exactly call that being “shunned”.
Because I’m not particularly articulate, here is an opinion piece that sums up my observations pretty spot on. Although this piece is written directly, I’m not quoting it here directly to any particular person.

An earlier point in the article also questions why the attacks on Trump from the Liberal Mainstream media have been virtually zero. Remember when they took the stupid dog strapped to the car roof story about Romney and ran it for weeks turning it into a big deal? The liberal media consistently tries to dig up decades old dirt on any Republican turning meaningless old stories into controversy yet they have nothing for Trump. Nothing. And can anyone really tell me there isn't a ton of old dirt on the guy? Yeah right.
So the so-called "anti-establishment" guy we decided to pick is preferred by DC insiders both left and right, is basically left alone by the liberal media who gives him as much air time as he could ever want, gets a pass on saying the most absurd things that would immediately titanic anyone else's election bid, has a history of funding establishment candidates more than anyone else in the race, has the most flip-floppy history of any candidate we've ever seen and has consistently given indications that he'll pursue anti-conservative ideals?
He is anything but anti-establishment and his supporters are being played. It's unbelievable.
