Kasich is by far more of a nuisance for Cruz than for Trump. From a different perspective, Kasich is the Establishment's way of giving Cruz the middle finger.
That said, as we saw with Rubio, Trump is able to drive people to the point they want to quit politics all together. There's a point where no amount of money can keep people in the race. If Kasich poses threats to Trump, there won't be any second thoughts on draining Kasich of his mental/physical health.
Yes, I am sure there is a lot of animosity from the Cruz campaign to the Kasich campaign. Cruz has said all along that, if it's just him and Trump, he would win the majority (not just the plurality) of delegates.
Kasich has 0% chance of winning the nomination on the 1st ballot and 0% chance of being on the 1st ballot as that requires the majority of delegates in 8 states and he has only accomplished that in 1 state. He is not going to win any additional states. It's really selfish of Kasich to stay in the race at this stage.
Rule 40 you speak of was for the 2012 convention. The 2016 convention delegates will adopt whatever rules they want. 2012 rules are not even a precedent. . . . they will have no effect whatsoever.
Who says he has no chance? He won't get a 1st ballot delegate majority but it's looking increasingly like neither Cruz nor Trump will either.
Once the delegates are unbound, Kasich has a fighting chance.
That's not dirty pool, that's following the rules. Trump's expecting to win the nomination without getting a majority of delegates would be dirty pool .. or ignorant pool.
There has never been a candidate nominated that didn't manage to win more than 1 state during the primary. Not even close. Kasich = unelectable
There has never been a candidate nominated that only won 1 state East of the Misisisippi. Not even close. Cruz = unelectable.
IMO, this knocks both Cruz & Kasich out of the race and they should have been gone by now. Cruz is only supported by fringe elements of the GOP base, Kasich apparently isn't supported by anyone at all. If the RNC wants to win this election, they will quit playing games with these two unelectable politicians, send them home, and and redirect their efforts to beating Hillary.
Your disturbing hate for Cruz is out of control! This is the 5th anti-Cruz thread you've started today alone! You are not going to convince anyone here to not vote for Cruz.
Cruz is disliked by anyone who knows, or works with, him.

Why D.C. Hates Ted Cruz
Cruz’s fans say it’s because he stands on principle. But his critics say he’s never achieved anything—except burnishing his own brand.

In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate, Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington—
Kasich thinks at the convention he will become the nominee.. he will stay as long as George Soros friends keep giving Kasich money.. that is why he is able to stay in the race.
Yep and the RNC will nominate Kasich. I bet the RNC told Kasich that if he won his state, they would get him the nomination. Look at Kasich's victory speech after the Ohio primary. Something tells me that he is just a bit too gleeful.
Double standards Cruz supporters. Double standards. You all never end up looking good.
Yes, I have heard Cruz's rants, like a spoiled child, over Kasich remaining in the race. He is SURE that he would get all the votes that Kasich is getting. Cruz is SO delusional.

When has a party given the nomination to a candidate who has only won 1 contest?...and the ONLY reason Kasich has won 1 contest its because he is the sitting governor of his state and he has the state political machine in his pocket......if he wasn't the sitting governor of Ohio, he be ZERO in the winning column.
