It's not hard to understand, really. Most voters are anti-Trump. The majority of the vote is not for Trump. He leads because there are too many other candidates. And Trump is not their second choice let alone their first choice. If people cannot vote for Carson, Bush, or Kasich, they are not going to shift to Trump. They will either go to Rubio or Cruz. Cruz voters, after the way Trump has acted, would rather vote for Rubio than Trump. And the same is true, I believe, of Rubio supporters despite the friction they've had. That is, they'd rather hold their nose and vote for Cruz than for Trump if the only options are Trump and Cruz.

Trump's over-the-top contempt for all the other candidates, calling them "hacks," questioning Carson's faith and mental health, questioning Cruz's religion and citizenship, and incredible New York obnoxiousness make him the last candidate that the other candidates supporters will go to. Sadly, Trump has been so vile that it is possible that some would rather see the open liberals win instead of Trump, the covert liberal.

How about the polls showing that Trump is the second choice of many Cruz and Carson voters? If he takes three points of Carson's vote and ten points of Cruz's vote when they finally drop out that gets him to over fifty percent and he's unstoppable.
