Michigan violated both parties’ primary rules by moving up their primary.

The Dems took away all of Michigan’s delegates. All of the candidates promised not to enter the Michigan primary. Then Hillary double crossed the others by entering at the last minute.

The Republicans took away most but not all of Michigan’s delegates. Romney made a big effort here because it is his home state and his father was Governor.

Given the reasonable prospect of brokered conventions in both parties, why would any state risk losing some or all of its delegates?

And you just know that the Michigan Democrat Delegation will be seated at the Convention when Hillary needs their votes.

Wonder how many Democrat crossovers there were who voted Republican to have a “choice”.
