It's completely a fanwank. You are inventing dialogue that never happened to advance your pet theory.
And considering the previews for next week, it seems very likely that the background for my reason is going to happen next episode, which IMO makes it more likely that was the reason Tyrion brainfarted.
I had some problems with the idea of the ice storm at the start of the attack that killed everyone outside the palisade but was somehow stopped by the logs of the wall. It made for great drama, but didn't make much sense.
Merely a fanwank. No indication that they assume it at all. And there is likely a clunky reason for that (which btw has the same amount, if not more, of support of "well, they assume Dorne will support her"):
"Merely a fanwank"? Are you being obnoxious simply because you can, or because you really enjoy being obnoxious?
And there is no reason whatever to believe that there is anything to your "likely" clunky reason.
Besides, why would Dany assume it? She didn't even know her father was really crazy until Barristan told her it was true.
Why would she assume it? Because Ser Barriston would have told her. Not every word that would have passed between the two appeared on screen.
I don't understand why people are *****ing about Tyrion not mentioning Dorne. It could easily be (and, in fact, logically is) true that he and Dani simply assume that Dorne will support her, and so don't see any need to mention Dorne and the Martells. Tyrion is, rightly, only looking at the houses which would be in play, and if he says the House Tyrell isn't enough, he is really saying that House Tyrell, plus, of course, House Martell, aren't enough. That's true enough.
THIS!
Though I did like the hopeless back and forth between Imran's fanboy ranting and rah's meh decidedly entertaining...

Spoiler:
So when Doran reveals that he's been plotting against Robert Baratheon and his heirs all along it'll come across as more of a surprise to the show watchers

Which nuptials? To the guy from slaver's bay? No, the westerosi don't care about foreigners. Like mideval Europeans they don't much care about and race. They are kind of an insular people on average and even when one of their great lords converts to a foreign religion that is enough for many of them to abandon him.

That was an excellent episode. You have to wonder, though, how the Walkers knew to attack at that precise moment. Seems to me to be either slightly sloppy writing ("we need a big scene.. oh, how to create one... I got it!) or else it is implying that the Walkers have spies in the lands of men.
I did like the fact that the fighters in this battle fought more intelligently than in almost any fight we have seen so far. Some even used the points of their blades! The windmill style attacks were getting old.
Dorne is the least populated region, so it might be more like 1/10th.
I was merely talking Kingdoms... but a 10th is still quite a substantial base to launch an offensive. You can easily pick going up the Kingsroad to the Stormlands or over the Red Mountains to the Reach (with dragons and Unsullied, even the power of the Reach isn't enough to counter that).
Ignoring Dorne is kind of a big deal - so, who is going to support you, Dany? Oh, I dunno, what about that 1/7th of the Kingdom who is probably jumping up and down for you to come back...

And yes, there are other things from the books, but even just watching the show, you know where Dornish loyalties lie. The whole not declaring for any of the claimants to the throne, or sending help to anyone is a big clue.
I'm just saying that not hearing that didn't subtract from my enjoyment of the scene.
I could see them being happy if the Lannsters were ousted but not necessarily if she took over. Unless there was something in the books not mentioned. It has been a long time since I read the books.
