Even though the results on the surface look like Trump is getting a lot of votes, I'm not really sure that is the case.
Primaries are a funny beast and kind of a weird quirk of democracy. Turnout is a pretty small fraction of the general electorate, and typically were deciced by party loyalists.
Everything has changed with social media and has allowed grassroots movements to organize and get people out in relatively large numbers. Trump got in the same way a bunch of tea partiers have primaried themselves in. Typically all of those candidates don't have a chance on broader general elections, even in states where the normal republican would have had a decent shot of winning.
Trump has only got about 10-11 million actual votes so far. He probably needs in the neighborhood of 66 million to have a chance at winning the general election. I don't think there is much of a chance he can find anywhere near another 55 million people to vote for him who haven't already voted for him.
Sanders has stayed in this race too by way of the same phenomenon of having a grass roots/social media campaign that votes in primaries in disproportionate numbers.
