It’s mathematically impossible for John Kasich to win.

So why is has he not gracefully dropped out?

Kasich says he hopes to get a VP slot by staying in.

A presidential candidate does not have to stay in to become VP.

The real reason why John Kasich stays in is because if he drops out then all 66 Delegates in Ohio will go to the runner up which is Trump.

If Trump gets the 66 Delegates, then the race is over.

This is why George Soros is funding John Kasich.

So if you are trying to imply that Trump is getting a fair shake, then nothing could be further from the truth. The 1237 rule was only there in case of a tight race.

Furthermore, if the RNC is just that dumb to go to a brokered convention, and Cruz gets the NOD. Do you really believe that most of the Trump supporters are going to vote for Cruz after the Primary was stolen from them??? It will certainly divide the Republican party, and guarantee a Hillary win.

Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.
Then when Hillary gets elected all we will hear from the worthless Republicans is “should of, could of, would of..”

I had to go read up a little, but this is incorrect. Bound delegates are bound to their candidate for the first ballot regardless of whether or not that candidate is still in the race. Kasich's delegates cannot be "reassigned" to anyone else. Furthermore, Cruz cannot steal Rubio's delegates. But he can make sure that those bound delegates will support him in subsequent ballots. Trump can do this too.
