Running just to stop the front runner from getting the required majority to force a convention fight goes against the spirit of the primaries.

Are you still whining because they won't just quit and let Trump win by default?

No, Kasich as of now is mathematically eliminated from getting the majority of delegates.

He should be out of the race and Cruz people should be demanding he go as well.

But the silence is now deafening from the Cruz side because they know they will soon be mathematically eliminated as well.

Which means the only reason either one is still in the race is to stop Trump from getting the number of the delegates and force a convention fight which goes against the spirit of the primary system.

Candidates run in primaries with the tacit agreement to step aside if they are eliminated, not continue to fight it out until the convention, which is why we have primaries, to avoid those kind of fights.
