Guys please read regarding the Ickes Michigan "Threat"
Think of this scenario, this issue is essentially the ONLY thing that is her rationale for continuing her campaign. If they said we are giving UP that right to take MI to the credentials committee, under this hypothesis, they are essentially conceding the primary BEFORE Puerto Rico tomorrow, which as we've seen hints for is their last hope for a large turn out to shift the popular vote (and I think it's reasonable to think that they think their goal is to make a stronger case for the popular vote case if they then had the lead even IF Michigan is not counted) Under this working assumption I think the'd want to do NOTHING to suppress that turnout, so "reserving" their right from now would fall into that scheme IMO. Let's just all be patient for the next few days, and we'll learn more, there's little else we can do to control the situation, let's help keep our mental well beings in good stead in the mean time at least.

2. It's a hollow threat from Mr. 100%
It's a hollow threat from a man who voted to deny Michigan 100% representation and a candidate who said the Michigan vote doesn't matter.
