you are assuming incorrectly if Kasich quits all of his supporters will go to Rubio.....and if Carson or Rubio quits all of their votes will go to Cruz.
silly argument that has no foundation.....just a way to downplay Trump and wishful thinking.
Bush dropped out of the race after South Carolina and in Nevada, Trump got a 10% gain from 35% from South Carolina to 45% in Nevada while Cruz and Rubio stayed the same around 22% to 23%. Cruz went down 1% from south carolina to nevada.
Jeb Bush got 8% in South Carolina.....most of that went to Trump in Nevada....no bump for Rubio, no bump for kasich and no bump for Cruz or Carson in Nevada.....they either stay the same or went down...the only one that went up by 10% was Trump since Jeb Bush left the race.
that kills your silly myth.
