> [@adaher](#): > > 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. > > [http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/2016-gop-primary-crazier-than-you-think-213542#ixzz3xh3kgXOg](http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/2016-gop-primary-crazier-than-you-think-213542#ixzz3xh3kgXOg) imblyign TRUMP won’t carry New Jersey, Ohio, and Florida on the strength of the blue-collar/lower middle-class vote by massive double-digit margins --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-race-for-the-gop-nomination-post-thanksgiving-thread/738819)._
