Gov. John Kasich, who barely registered in national polls for most of the primary, just beat Trump in his home state of Ohio, a winner-take-all state worth 66 delegates.<br />It still puts Kasich behind Ted Cruz in the delegate count, which doesn’t make for an easy path to victory.<br />But winning the nomination at this point is not Kasich’s primary goal.<br />Rather, he is positioning himself to strip as many delegates away from Trump as possible.<br />The Republican establishment is hoping Trump will arrive at the convention with only a plurality of delegates, rather than the majority needed to win the nomination outright.<br />That could potentially let them block him through a contested convention.
