While Bennie the Knife has threatened to pull a Trump and leave the party if the Establishment tries to manipulate a brokered convention, his leverage is significantly less than Trumps. Trump voters are invested in Trump and all that Trump "stands for." If Trump runs as a third party candidate, half of his voters go with him.
Carson's voters are mostly evangelicals and people who like their outsiders with a touch less racism. They aren't leaving the GOP. They will simply move to Ted Cruz, as many of them are already doing.
