Overall, he’s working the delegates and the convention strategy rather than convincing millions of voters. Does he think his hijinks will be lovingly approved by the massive millions out there who can see this scheming for the power the grab that it really is?
The Electoral College isn’t a cloistered establishment GOP bitch that can be wheedle and bought with promises. At least 26 states have some form of “faithless elector” laws that bind their votes to the will of the voter. Unfortunately for Mr. Cruz, they are states that he would badly need in a win against Hillary or Sanders.

It was Cruz that said “win the debate” but he hasn’t done that with the voters.
Is there more info on the electoral college “faithless elector” laws?
You can google or bing “faithless elector laws”. When I did it an image map of the states that have them was one of the responses. I looked and saw that the states where Ted desperately needs a win against a Democrat have them. He can’t diddle with them.
