What happens if Cruz and Rubio send all their delegates to Kasich?

And Kasich continues in the remaining states?

Has anyone done an analysis of this scenario? Can he still get a majority?

Dunno. Kasich rents a bigger dumpster? TheCowsCameHome May 2016 #1

off the top I would say the chances of Kasich winning any primary are zilch rurallib May 2016 #2

If you combine Cruz+Rubio+Kasich votes in many states they outnumber Trump's Ash_F May 2016 #3

just looking at realclearpolitics and I add those three up to 889 rurallib May 2016 #4

Really? If there were only two on the ballot? Ash_F May 2016 #5

no one can ever say all, but even a 50/50 split leaves Trump way ahead rurallib May 2016 #6

still I can't imagine Kasich running up much more than 20% against Trump in any of the remaining contests. That should put Trump way over the top.

That would suggest all Cruz/Rubio voters would go to Trump.
