You probably don't jump too. Unless maybe the bridge is kinda low and over water, and you see that he escaped bodily injury -- then if you have the courage you might follow him.
Otherwise you don't, because you see that there's a consequence to the action.
So let's get that one outta the way right now.
Here's a better analogy to what happened with MI and FL. You and your brother see your sister grab a cookie out of the jar, just before dinner, in full view of your mom who says nothing in spite of the clearly stated rule that you don't take a cookie just before dinner. So you and your brother look at each other, go up to the jar and grab one too.
Mom gets mad and you both go without dinner, but nothing happens to the favored sister.
From what I was hearing on Air America this morning, that's basically what happened. New Hampshire was the favored one. The DNC had it all set up the way they wanted, NH didn't like it and moved their primary up in clear violation of the rules, and nothing happened. MI and FL, seeing this, decided they would do the same thing and now they're gonna have to go without dinner.
Am I getting this wrong somehow? And please, let's not bring the issue of Clinton being the only one on the ballot in MI right now, that's a separate issue. I'm not advocating restoring MI and FL's delegations, at least not right now. I just wanna know if I'm getting the narrative right and this is basically what happened.
