6. The DNC rules are not tablets sent down from God
Whoever the nominee is will be in position to control the DNC and make changes. The ability to change the rules is already a part of the

rules. There will be a meeting on the 31st to decide on MI and FL.

Politics is based on human behavior and interaction, not some immutable law of the universe. It has always been fluid and will continue

to be.

13. No one has argued that it should.
Not "no one" because there has to be some clown somewhere that has. But, you know what I mean.

12. No - they ALL AGREED what the rules meant.
This ain't your last relationship - there are real consequences for breaking the rules.

If there isn't, we are doomed.
