That sounds right to me. Personally, I couldn’t predict where Carson’s supporters would go. He’s fairly unique: an accomplished outsider with an almost weirdly quiet voice. He’s hardly conservative at all. My wild guess would be that Rubio would pick up some Carson supporters. The rest would probably scatter like buckshot.
