The winner take all states is where it hurts him the most.
Kasich supporters are not going to be supporting Donald Trump if Kasich pulls out and Ted and Donald know that.
Trump has yet to break 50% of the votes in any state.
Spare me - NY coming and he was 49.3% in Massachusetts. Cruz got 69% in a state dominated by Mormons and multiple wives. And another caucus, not a primary.
Cruz couldn't even get to 50% in his own state ...
That seemed more about keeping Rule 40. If that happens, then Kasich & Rubio's delegates become unbound on the first ballot.
No, it wasn't about Rule #40b, it was about Kasich "taking his votes" and it being "very unfair."
"Mr. Trump, who last week met with R.N.C. officials in Washington, said he had been mentioning his concerns to committee officials, including Reince Priebus, the party’s chairman.
“I said, ‘Why is a guy allowed to run?’” He said. “All he’s doing is just he goes from place to place, and loses, and he keeps on running.”
Mr. Trump added that he told the R.N.C. that the situation was “very unfair.”
“He doesn’t have to run and take my votes,” Mr. Trump said."
He isn't complaining about this because of Wisconsin but he wants him out before the NE, where Kasich being in doesn't leave voters just "crude, rude, xenophobic" Trump as an option to "crazy, religious nut" Cruz.

I'm a Democrat, but if I was a Republican I would vote for Trump. Cruz scares me. He's an extreme religious fanatic. Trump may be rude, arrogant, and even comical in his own way ... but at least he is refreshingly candid and doesn't kowtow to the corporate elites and the smug GOP 'establishment'.

I'm a Republican and I agree with you completely. Cruz is WAY too religious for me. At least we know that Trump is someone who gets things done. Google Wollman Rink in New York. He's not perfect and he may not know the ins and outs of how government works, but he knows how PEOPLE work and he can get things done. I would never bet against Trump. Many have and have lived to regret it.

Please tell me you weren't serious, leftee. If you seriously think that Utah is "dominated by multiple wives," you are one of the most uninformed people I've run into here on City-Data, and I've been posting here for quite a number of years. Maybe that's not it at all, though. Maybe you were just taking a jab at Mormonism. In either case, though, you did yourself no favors in the process. People are not impressed by ignorance of that magnitude, regardless of what they may think of the state's dominant religion.
Neither does Cruz. So by that logic, Cruz is a jerk too.
(hmmm. I guess we already knew that)
Cruz has a path to the nomination based on the requirement that he must win 8 states. That is absolutely doable before the end of primary season. Kasich has absolutely NO pathway at all.
But you already knew that. Cruz is not the jerk in your scenario.
