The bigger question for me about Ted Cruz and TPA and TPP et al is the question of why his conversations now are all about ‘delegates’ rather than ‘voters.’
The blithe acceptance of an obvious maniac’s support to win Utah (Glenn Beck), hiring Neil (S&L) Bush as a financier, gladly accepting warm gestures from Lindsey Graham and the poweratti of the GOP Congress......
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.
The bottom line? I don’t give a hoot about his damned video. I give a damn what he’s doing right now - today. And tonight he’s gonna find out how all this is working out - in spades.

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?
