TRUMP will pick up most of the Huckabee, Santorum, Rubio, Carson, Fiorina and Paul voters when they inevitably drop out, just as he did with Walker and Perry

“TRUMP will pick up most of the Huckabee, Santorum, Rubio, Carson, Fiorina and Paul voters when they inevitably drop out, just as he did with Walker and Perry”

Naw, I don’t see Trump picking up any significant numbers of any of those candidates. Huck, Carson, and Santo voters are predominantly evangelicals, and they can easily see that Trump is no evangelical. Heck, he won’t even discuss anything to do with the Bible, and all he says is, “hey, I’m Episcopalian!”

How is Trump going to pick up Fiorina voters after sophomorically insulting her appearance and questioning whether she should even be talking in a debate?

Rubio? Rubio is probably Trump’s best chance of stealing voters from, as they are both very hawkish about using military force to go after ISIS.

I doubt it. The 30% who like Trump are already for him. The 70% who don't want Trump are not likely to go over to him. More likely to go to Cruz or Rubio, who are the two who will probably be remaining.

It is not likely that Trump will pick up Bush or Paul voters after he made so many juvenile attacks on them. Trump may attract some by his actions but he alienates many as well. This is why he is losing in a match up with Hillary. His support is strong yet narrow.
