37. No, you're the one reframing the argument. That's changing the rules halfway through the game.
Florida and Michigan broke the rules, which is why the party will not seat them.
It is in their discretion not to seat the delegates of states that break the rules.

In Florida's case, it was a bunch of republicans running the change in our election schedule anyway.
That's what their republican electoral court came up with as a fair date.
That's why Florida's not being seated.

All the other players except for HRC recognized that they broke the rules, which is why they are not being seated.

Most people agree that they will eventually be seated, once the real contest is over.
It's not over yet.

Also, you've ignored the question on superdelegates. Are you happy with the democratic party offering HRC a hundred delegate lead? Do you think that's fair?
