RNC Rules Roadblock May No Longer Be Hurdle for Kasich

It's all but impossible for Ohio Gov. John Kasich to gain enough delegates to put his name into nomination at the convention this July, but he can become the GOP nominee anyway, NBC News reported. 

The rule governing the Republican Party's nomination process currently requires a candidate to demonstrate the written support of a majority of delegates from eight or more states. That threshold has helped reduce the field, with candidates dropping out as it became clear they'd be unable to meet it.

Both Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have met the eight-state threshold, while Kasich, if polls of the remaining primary states hold, is highly unlikely to get there.
