All the little candidates I’ve seen so far have an impact of cutting into Cruz support like Perry in TX, Jindal in LA, Graham in SC, Huckabee in AR. Those guys could win outright in those states or deny Cruz delegates and or victory there.
Kasich, being the OH governor, could deny a Midwestern not Bush candidate a victory in OH and lock up a large chunk of its delegates for the GOPe-Jeb Bush. Is Kasich aimed at Walker?
That’s how the RNC plans to nominate Jebster. Run enough candidates to dilute the votes.
