53. Does anybody else see this could be seen as an arm-twist threat, more than a warning?

ie..... You'd BETTER nominate, and vote for Trump, or the "evil" Democrats will win because we will be in disarray.

We are thinking like they are us. They are not. They are all cowards like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, who maybe deep down want to see their party move on from the choas of Trump, but they'll never abandon Trump unless its very very very very clear that he's a distant second. And that won't happen until they actually nominate their final choice candidate. But make no bones about it, they would rather win with Trump, than take a chance that if he is rejected, he will stir up a damaging rebellion in the party.
