t is simply not acceptable for a major political party to disenfranchise its delegates from two major states, leaving party members in those states with no voice in the Presidential nomination. Something has to be done to give those members representation.

The States were told what would happen if they moved their primaries up and they did it anyway.

I have no sympathy for them as life just ain't full of do overs.

Me neither. In fact, I'm enjoying their discomfort immensely!

It would not be a do over. The first primaries don't fit the Dim rules. If they vote between now and the convention, that primary fits the rules. So those would be legit Dim delegates. And the Dims make the rules for themselves. They can change the rules to legitimize the previous votes. They could pay for votes in those states themselves. They could have the legislature appoint delegates for the those states. The can basically do whatever they want. The Dims are a private organization not the government.
