Ben Ginsberg, the GOP attorney who stopped Ron

readily admitted to scccessfully stopping Ron Paul in 2012 when he was on MSNBC yesterday and asked how the party could stop Trump. I can't find the video clip to share but found this via Politico. I also watched as he said the following:

BEN GINSBERG of Jones Day, the nation’s leading GOP elections lawyer, on MSNBC’s set at 30 Rock, said March 15 (including Florida and Ohio, both winner take all) “is kind of the cut-off day” for Cruz or Rubio to block Trump. Ben agreed with Chuck Todd that this is “a two-week sprint” not to BEAT Trump, but to DEPRIVE HIM of delegates. Ben then gave a clinic on what co-anchor Rachel Maddow called “the dark art” of contesting a convention.

GINSBERG: “If you were to devise a plan to stop a runaway nominee, you would have to do a lot of state-by-state organizing.” Most delegates aren’t bound past the first ballot, or on rules questions or credentials challenges. Ginsberg, who played a central role in the Florida recount of 2000, admitted this is “the equivalent of a triple bank shot: [I]t has not happened in history, but neither had a presidential recount.” Nicolle Wallace, who was on-set, laughed appreciatively.

In response to the anchors’ point that this plan would be seen as “disenfranchising a movement,” Ginsberg said Trump “is the guy in the driver’s seat,” but that if he were to go to the convention lacking a majority of delegates, “that is a historically weak frontrunner”: “There are rules of the convention that apply, and people will take advantage of those rules.”
