If it is just two candidates remaining, Trump plus one other -- Cruz, Kasich, Rubio, Bush -- Trump loses. He is getting 25-35% of the votes, and won't get much more or less than that, no matter who else is in the race.
Of course, it won't be just two candidates any time soon. But there's really only five candidates left, and the four non-Trump candidates are splitting the votes that will never go to Trump
And because Cruz is so disliked, that leaves three candidates fighting to be the reasonable alternative to Trump and Cruz, and that candidate is likely to win in the end, whether it's Kasich or Bush or Rubio.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
