A Republican presidential candidate doesn’t have to accrue a majority of
delegates in eight states to be considered for the nomination during a
contested convention in July, former Republican National Committee lawyer
Ben Ginsberg — the party's preeminent election law expert — said Wednesday.
“In fact, that's not a rule,” Ginsberg told MSNBC early Wednesday morning.
“That's part of what's called the temporary rules. Each convention has to
pass for itself the number of states that put a candidate's name in
nomination.”
In 2012, revisions to Rule 40 raised the required number of states from five
to eight, but no number is in effect for the Cleveland convention,
according to Ginsberg. “The 2016 convention and its rules committee has to
make that decision,” he said. “So there is no eight-state rule in effect
right now for the next convention.”
“The 2016 convention can make that number one, eight, 18, 28 or 58, if it
wishes,” he added.
Ginsberg also delved into the political optics of what happens if Trump goes
into the convention either with or without the 1,237 delegates required to
form a majority.
“Trump's contest is with himself to be able to amass enough delegates to
come to Cleveland with a majority," he said. “If Trump has a majority, it
is done. He will be the nominee.”
But if Trump comes up short, Ginsberg said, "It depends on how short he is.”
“Someone who goes in with 43 percent of the delegates will be barely over 1
,000 — more than 200 delegates short," Ginsberg said. "That's a
historically weak candidate going into the convention. If he's 50 short,
then that's pretty tough to take away.”

发帖数: 2616 | 6 这东西本来就不是法律。问题是他们要是在Trump大胜的情况下以这个理由不推Trump，
显然Trump会作为独立参选人参选。这样到了大选还是Trump对establishment。这种情
况下GOP输定了（当然establishment不在乎)，但是Trump未必会输。
从打倒Trump的角度讲，最佳策略应该是提名Trump，但是组织一帮GOP的人自己挖自己
党的黑幕。那样通过埋葬GOP的方式把Trump一起带下去。
