The Race for the GOP Nomination - Post-Thanksgiving Thread

An interesting tidbit from Politico. Both Jeb and Kasich worked to make their states winner take all whereas most Republican primaries and caucuses are proportional. In a long delegate hunt race, that’s a nice advantage for Jeb, Kasich, and/or Rubio. Kasich most of all, since his popularity in Ohio would probably get him Ohio’s 66 delegates even if he’s not winning squat elsewhere. The article speculates that Kasich may hang around just to collect those delegates and thus, leverage if it’s a brokered convention. Christie did the same with NJ’s 51 delegates.
