Jeff Berkowitz, who worked three conventions as an RNC official, says there would be a revolt if the convention rules are changed simply to stop Trump.

Asked about Ginsberg’s description of the temporary rules, Berkowitz laughed, saying “that’s right from a legal standpoint, but there would be a huge at eruption at anything seen as the establishment stealing it from the rightful winner.”

Another Republican operative working with the Trump campaign, who requested anonymity to discuss a contested convention, said a floor fight would depend on “how the rules end up getting interpreted.”

“Typically it’s the nominee that sets the rules, so Ben set the rules last time, after some spirited negotiation,” the operative said, “and I honestly don’t know whether Ben’s rules stick.”
