I actually forgot Kasich was in this race until seeing his name just now. Everyone's talking about how this is Cruz's last stand but he and Kasich are both mathematically eliminated and it's not like Kasich has any better a chance of stopping Trump from getting 1237. Are people not talking about him because it's pointless for him to even concede defeat, he's so out of contention?

One of the reasons people thought he was staying in the race was so that he could claim to be a contender in Cleveland unlike those who've dropped out, if Cruz wants to try some last-minute rules committee play doesn't he need to stay in too and try to scoop the last few rural states so he can get enough people on the committee to take control? In essence, all that winning today really does is confirm that Trump's going to have 1237+ pledged on the first ballot.
