How do you figure that? If he caused Cruz to lose support, wouldn’t Trump be in that final group?

Sure. But if the primary “marathon” eventually boils down to Trump versus Bush, Trump versus Rubio, or Trump versus Walker, then the non-Trump is sure to win.
Cruz would almost surely beat Trump in a one-on-one contest, but as the polls look now, I think it’s a real stretch to imagine that Cruz could rise to be among the top three.
