That he is. The problem for the establishment is they might not have much influence with delegates. It's not like the Dems with superdelegates, the delegates themselves are generally grassroots activists, and state and local officials, who are much less likely to be in lock step with the national party. This is why Cruz is getting into lock territory, he's actively wooing and pursuing delegates while Trump apparently only in the last few days actually hired someone to try and attract delegates. But the establishment likely has little to no say in the convention in terms of voting for a potential winner. Now manipulating the rules to heavily favor a candidate of their choice? Different story.
