I am describing winning outright, not going to the convention and winning at the convention.

For most of the history of these conventions (outside of incumbents), multiple ballots were common. We are NOT far from the place where it will be difficult for Trump to get 1,237. He rarely places above 50% inprimaries OR caucuses, even with only three candidates left.

Actually, Trump has yet to get more than 50% in any contest.

Trump is going to get the number.

So, if Kasich is given the nomination at the convention (he has no chance of getting the number) will you support him?

You do realize that the Kasich is only staying in to stop Trump, just like Cruz.

When you have multiple candidates it is hard for anyone to get over 50%!

Cruz didn't get over 50% in his own State, nor did Kasich, if I remember correctly.
