Here is the link to the Politico article, try this:

I checked the article, it doesn’t address the questions you brought up, but it does have a lot of other relevant info — mostly that Cruz hadn’t truly given up his campaign and is still planning to pull something at the convention.
I am looking behind the scenes and we still have a problem with Cruz.
He is still scheming and we need to get in from of this and expose this.
Need some researchers, beyond what I can do.
Specifically, how many delegates sit on the convention rules committee.
Is it only 16, only 2 each from 8 states?
Not to be confused with the much larger RNC rules committee.
