It would only take a few votes in each precinct to turn the tied. Not necessarily giving a vote to Cruz but taking votes from Trump and Carson and spitting them between Cruz and Rubio. It affects all three.
I know if I was about to vote and was told my candidate was dropping out I’d vote my second choice to keep the others from winning.
It is a good example at how easily votes can be influenced.I would not listen to “Somebody said....” I’m afraid I am too suspicious by nature and would vote my choice even if he was lying dead on the floor.
