He doesn’t care. At this point, he just wants to derail Donald to try to win on the 2nd ballot.

From the Lutheran Church Missiouri Synod’s paper on “Dominionism”:
“In his 1987 book, Paradise Restored, author David Chilton wrote that Reconstructionist strategy “begins with reformation, reconstruction of the church. From that will flow social and political reconstruction, indeed a flowering of Christian civilization (Hag. 1:1-15; 2:6-9, 18-23).”6 George Grant, another Reconstructionist author, stated: “It is dominion that we are after. Not just a voice. It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time. It is dominion we are after. World conquest.”7”

Soo, if Ted really believes that doctrine as his dad’s been preaching, it’d be surprising for him to quit. From the dominionist perspective he’s been cast in, he’s on a sort of crusade - and no party windmill will be left un-tilted at.
If you read the rest of the LCMS paper linked above, you’ll see the scriptural refutation of his case is pretty clear.
