“I like Governor John Kasich”, he said. Delegates “are actually going to think about who might be a good president”. If I were in this to stop somebody I’d get out because it wouldn’t be worth my time.

Leavitt and Romney are playing big roles in the effort to keep Trump off the ticket. The Utah Republican Party is one of the first to use internet voting in the country. Romney, who made a major speech condemning Trump at the University of Utah earlier this month, announced on Facebook Friday he’ll vote for Cruz. Only 1,049 delegates remain to be allocated and a candidate must have 1,237 pledged delegates in order to receive the nomination. Rubio’s supporters believe Kasich cost them a needed victory in Virginia, where the Floridian finished less than 3 points behind Trump and Kasich had over 9 percent of the vote.
Cruz and outside groups who support him have raised $101 million so far in the campaign, according to federal data compiled by opensecrets.org, a nonpartisan website of the Center for Responsive Politics, with $39 million cash on hand.

Romney sees it differently. Romney, who campaigned in OH for Kasich to blunt Trump’s bid for delegates, called Trump unfit for office and a danger for the nation and the GOP.
