Cruz's prospective losses from winning the ev vote (instead of others). A win-win for him and the world.

I think it was on 538 where someone pointed out that Cruz's most promising ev states are mostly proportional, not winner take all, while it's the opposite for opponents appealing to other, or more diversified blocks. Thus, if he wins majorities in them all he should still end up way behind in delegates.
