So I have been writing about it since it happpened. There are a lot of facets to the issues. But to me it is a pure and simple power play to keep the power out of the hands of anyone but the nominee. It never worried me before that the Nominee is in control all aspects of the party when they are chosen. But it disturbs me very much now.
I know who the power players in Florida are for, and those delegates will be restored anyway.
I hope that this outrageous move ny Florida will make some people think twice about why it happened in conjunction with Michigan.
The people are easy to fool when the media tells one side, and when the state party starts it out as propaganda.
