That's my guess. And I'd expect to see more of this - various GOP politicians auditioning for name recognition for the first unbound convention vote.

Depends. If Trump's actual policies are more in line with the Freedom Caucus then I could see Democrats and "moderate" Republicans working to keep gridlock alive.
If Trump's actual policies turn out to be left of what his rhetoric has been and/or if he's more of a pragmatist, then I could actually see the Democrats and "moderate" Republicans working with Trump (though the nature of this coalition would still be issue-by-issue) to neuter the Freedom Caucus.
Either would be entertaining and horrifying at the same time.
