HINT:
Trump has OVER HALF of the needed 1237 and has a huge lead in most remaining Winner-Take-All states. He can pass 1237 easily.

Cruz needs 79% of ALL REMAINING DELEGATES, nearly impossible

Kasich needs 104% of ALL REMAINING DELAGATES, literally mathmatecally impossible.

I doubt Mr Kasich will get out until the very, very end.

Perhaps it IS good that Kasich won and is staying in. Kasich will absorb the GOPe vote and keep it from going to Cruz, who will eventually either fade away to abscurity or look like a loser who just wants to hang on, endlessly repeating canned pitches that “only he can beat Trump”.

Mitt Romney is still running but is trying to get the nomination without having actually getting any delegates. The guy is just a Loser.

I see the Establishment's playbook on Varney and company that John Kacish is the only one who beats Hillary in the Polls

Yeah and Mitch had 4 to 5 Million Republicans that stayed home in 2012

I am sure they pencil in those votes too.

You want to tell me a guy who didn't win 8% of the Florida Vote and in his area the Rust Belt never finished third going to beat Hillary

Add in the Fact if they did this I know Trump and Cruz supporters will stay home

It’s going to take the combined TRUMP and CRUZ delegates to crush the GOPe at the National Convention.

See #1 for the math supporting my point about the state of the race.

With fewer delegates than Trump, it would be a kamikaze attack for Cruz to contest. Sure, go all through to the convention. Let the first vote be held. But then Cruz has to let the winner win, or there’s only hell to pay.

Kasich and cruz are only there now to do the establishments dirty work and take as many delegates as they can to have their contested convention.

We know it is over for both of them , but they will stay there anyway.

Trump wins because Kasich, Cruz and Little Marco will continue to divide the remaining vote all the way down the stretch.

Kasich needs 104% of ALL REMAINING DELAGATES, literally mathematically impossible.

Dropout candidates automatically release their delegates. Nothing would stop Trump, Cruz or Kasich getting some portion of Rubio delegates, for instance.

Rubio's out. Kasich is going to try to win in the east, while Cruz will continue to be stronger in the west.

Mitt Romney is still running but is trying to get the nomination without having actually getting any delegates.

But today John Boehner endorsed Paul Ryan for the presidency, so with the Romney-Kasich strategy of disregarding caucus-primary votes of and by the people, the circus is being set up, and they don't care if we don't attend.

I’d love to see Jeb! drop out again. Any way we can get him to re-enter?

I don’t see anyone else dropping out. Kasich might run low on money and stop campaigning as much but I think he really wants to stay in. I’d expect the GOPe will give him all the money he needs. And he has a fantasy that the GOPe would pick him over Ryan/Romney/whoever in a contested convention if he can be the one to win the last few delegates that would have put Trump over the top.

I believe that a person who suspends his campaign keeps his delegates. Only if he drops out are his delegates freed.

They should all drop out. Cruz got 17% in Florida, 13% in Ohio. Trump is stronger than him in the vast majority of the places that Cruz is strong AND Trump is Strong everywhere so far. Trump has been 1st or 2nd in all but 2 caucus’. This with 2 political parties hitting Trump HARD and no one hitting Cruz since SC (Where he lost 2:1). If Cruz wins now he will win because of NY, CA, NJ all states where he has absolutely no chance in a general election (as in, don’t even show up for those states). If he were to win now it has very little to do with him and everything to do with the party elites hating Trump. He hasn’t captured the imagination of the American electorate. Talk Radio has been propping him up, refuse to attack or even mention anything he does that was a misstep or mistake or outright leftist (Support for the brawls in Chicago).
He won’t get this type of kid glove treatment in a general and even with the kid glove treatment he’s still behind a lot in states where he claimed at one point to be the closest to his beliefs. The case against Cruz is clear. Kasich, why even bother waste time talking about him. He can win if and only if it’s given to him (not by the people)
