whats the point of the 6- they will spit votes with statements like that. they need to select one of their number, the rest drop out

Part of the motivation for the alliance is that Saturday's vote allows just 10 minutes between rounds if a candidate doesn't achieve a majority of the vote. That is scant time to throw support to another candidate, so the idea was to come with a plan in advance of Saturday's vote.

Of course, the combined voting strength of the six candidates would need to be greater than 50 percent in order for this tactic to work. Given the facts that the ballot is secret, some delegates are still making up their minds, and allegiances can shift from round to round, it's nearly impossible to predict if that will be the case.
