This House Republican is begging either Cruz or Rubio to drop out

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) is making a last-ditch effort to defeat Donald Trump by urging either Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) or Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to drop out of the Republican presidential race. The House Republican circulated a letter among his Republican colleagues in Congress Wednesday night, asking them to sign on to his push for Cruz and Rubio to join forces so conservatives can unite behind one candidate.
"We believe there is another way. It may be the only way," Franks writes, according to a copy obtained by The Huffington Post. "We call upon all national security, free-market, and pro-family conservatives to boldly rally around the two of you together and ask you both to answer the call of statesmanship and decide between yourselves which shall be the candidate for president and which shall be the candidate for vice president."
Franks contends that if Cruz or Rubio don't drop it, then it almost guarantees that "the Republican Party’s nominee in the general election is Mr. Trump who is incontrovertibly, the weakest general election candidate in the Republican field with the strongest probability of allowing Hillary Clinton to become president."
