In a field of 17 candidates, a 20% vote will win, if all the votes split, and in Florida, a winner take all state, the 20% vote will win 100% of the delegates.
This is why so many with so little chance, stay in the race. To siphon even 1% help the GOPe immensely, if that 1% would go to a conservative alternative.
The losers need to get out.
That’s what all the Trump haters are worried about.Its also the reason they are trying to get the last loser into the campaign because he has the money but not near as much as Trump.
