“Not so. It has nothing to do with someone reaching 1237. Kasich is already eliminated, Cruz will be eliminated as soon as. someone else gets 32 delegates - almost certainly April 19th. Trump will not be eliminated until there are fewer left than what he needs to reach 1237.”
Why do people here keep talking about candidates being “eliminated”? If no candidate attains 1237 delegates before the convention, then NO candidate is eliminated, and it goes to the convention, where anything can happen.
Nobody is talking about being completely eliminated from the race. The subject of this thread is when a candidate is mathematically eliminated from winning before the first ballot, which requires winning 1237 delegates PRIOR to the convention.
That would happen when there are fewer delegates remaining than the amount a candidate needs to reach 1237. It will happen to Cruz in twelve days.
