[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The RNC can tell him to stop. There needs to be some rules for this process that candidates need to be removed from the process if they have been eliminated mathematically. Kasich can still go around the country and have his town halls. But he can't continue in a contest that he has been eliminated.[/quote]

They can tell him to stop. They can remove support from anything he does. They can't MAKE his stop, though. [b]It's a free election in a free country.[/b]

And they don't want him to stop. They don't like Cruz and they don't like Trump.  If Kasich can be a tiny bit of a spoiler, they are happy to let him do that.

The convention is going to be contested. Kasich has a chance of winning on the floor, if the RNC opens it up to whoever. [/quote]

I wish it were true. The election is only half of the equation, and the other half is party politics.

There is a primary election going on that makes this nominating process appear to be somewhat democratic. The rules are straightforward, if you get 50% + 1, you are the nominee. No party politics can alter this part of the process.[b][i] Kasich has been eliminated from this part of the process.[/i][/b] His only hope is going to be the same way that Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio get the nomination. [b]It's unfair for him to play the spoiler in the voting part of the process when there is still two serious candidates that have mathematical chance.[/b][/quote]

Why is it unfair?  A contested convention has always been a possibility, and prior to 1956 or so was routine.   He does have a mathematical chance - there is a mathematical chance that no one gets a majority on the first ballot, and that there will be a second ballot.
