The way I see, establishment republicans are likely funnelling money into Rubio's coffers which is keeping him in the race despite his apparent lack of popularity.
Trump is I'm sure getting tremendous donor support as well as leveraging some of his professional holdings.
Where does John Kasich get his money though? As far as I can tell, he's not a Rick Santorum 'fillibuster candidate' (that's my term, don't steal it), and he's not a mike huckabee huckster candidate.
Who is bankrolling this guy? Is this the guy that trump is the tip of the spear for? Have been wrong this whole time about Rubio, is John Kasich the REAL dakr horse in the GOP nomination process?
It's playing out like House of Cards. "What? Underwood? How is he still in the game, no one likes him?"

Well the establishment path to a contested convention starts with winning Ohio. So my only guess is they've gone all in with Kasich to win Ohio to block Trump. Maybe they've promised Kasich something to stick around, I don't know. It does seem bizarre, but considering how badly Rubio has tanked since going after Trump (which has been an interesting pattern to watch, candidates who attack Trump falling off almost immediately), Kasich at this point can hold on to some crutch that there will be an establishment rally to him at some point.
Besides it's not his money after all, he doesn't care I'm sure.
