20. Again you are misinterpreting the rules
The rules don't require the credentials committee not to seat Fla and MI delegations. It's within their discretion to seat them. The rules don't require the state party not to assign delegates.

Given the discretion available to the state party and the committee, you can't just cite the rules to argue against seating the delegates. You have to argue that seating them would be an abuse of discretion. But why would it? Because Obama was at some disadvantage relative to Clinton? What disadvantage? Certainly none in Florida. And any disadvantage in MI is one of his own doing, since he CHOSE to have his name removed from the ballot. Nothing required him to do so.
