GOP strategist describes how Donald Trump to be taken down (VIDEO)

Brian Williams asked Ben Ginsberg what was to be done about his Republican Party and specifically the establishment.

"I think what you do is face the reality that you have to do a lot electorally in the next two weeks, March 15th is kind of cutoff day," Ginsberg said. "Then if you care deeply about where the Party goes you get into the rules a little bit. And you learn that 73% of the delegates are chosen at state conventions or by state party executive committees with little or no input from the candidate who win that state. Who the actual delegates are is a product of the state party for the most part. So they are bound to the presidential candidate on the first ballot. They are not bound to vote for the presidential candidate for rules issues, for credential challenges, for the vice presidential nominee, nor who the permanent chair of the convention is. So if you were to devise a plan to stop a runaway nominee, you would have to do a state by state organizing -- win the delegates at the convention."

Check out the full video which was rather enlightening below.
