Republicans have Trump. 30% vote for him because he has ® on his ballot.
Democrats double down and again have someone that nobody is crossing party lines for (and won't mobilize the African-American vote in large numbers), like Warren. 30% vote for her because she has (D) on her ballot.
Kasich runs as an Independent, pulls some of the moderate Republican vote, some of the independent vote, and a little bit of the Democrat vote that isn't anywhere enough to win, but not well enough to win.
Sanders runs as an Independent, pulls a bunch of college kids who don't know anything about life yet (but have that shit easily figured out if you ask them as they sit in their safe spaces and a coloring book) and the aging hippie generation, but also not well enough to win.

The results end up something like...
Trump: 39% (but wins the electoral vote)
Warren: 40%
Sanders: 12%
Kasich: 8%
Libertarians/Green Party: 1%
And the US, having never experienced an election where 4 people drew meaningful amounts of votes collectively lose their shit over the fact that when you figure only ~55% of the country that can vote, do so... having 39% of the popular vote would mean only like 21.45% of the people able to vote, voted for him. Hipsters erupt in riots across the country proclaiming "Nazis, and stuff, man. This is basically like totally a literal dictatorship, bro. I cried and wrote a scathing tweet."

Yeah, I believe roughly 30% of the Hispanic vote are Republicans. I think only ~8% of African-Americans are, though.
