Ted Cruz-Marco Rubio fan-fiction is the GOP's latest pathetic form of Trump denial

In November, I predicted the first four stages of Republican grief over Donald Trump's nomination would be funny (that's denial, anger, bargaining and depression) but the last stage - acceptance - would not be.

Chris Christie proved me wrong - he showed that acceptance of Donald Trump can be hilarious when paired with mortifying regret.

But the funniest stage of Trump grief remains the first: denial. There has been a lot of denial, and it has been delicious.

The latest fad in Trump denial involves writing fantasies of all the non-Trump candidates teaming up, "Super Friends"-style, to take on and defeat Trump Man, the comic book villain who threatens to win the Republican nomination.

Specifically, they're urging Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to form an electoral pact, with Cruz naming Rubio as his pick for vice president.

NOW WATCH: Remember when Trump said he 'might be dating' Ivanka if she weren't his daughter? Even his supporters were creeped out
