So after 17 candidates to start Trump has 37%, his nearest rival has 28%, Rubio has 15%, Kaisch has 13%. What is your point? Trump has the majority.

If you want to restrict it to greater than 50% (one of many meanings of majority) no candidate has that and so the original premise by the OP is meaningless.

ma·jor·i·ty

noun: majority; plural noun: majorities

A majority is over 50%. Right now, Trump has a plurality among the candidates, but a minority of the party as a whole.
