27. Why fix wasn't isn't broken?

The State Conventions deliberately chose to break the rules, and they knew full well what the consequences for breaking them would be. Hillary and Obama both agreed to abide by the rules and not participate (although Hillary left her name on the ballot in Michigan, and thus broke her pledge as well...and, that pledge was made too late for anyone to remove their names from the Florida ballot.)

Hillary should not now be rewarded for MI & FL (and, her own, IMO) shenanigans.

Rules are not made to be broken.
