The DNC made these rules. The candidates agreed at the time with the decision that the state delegates would not be seated. These were their rules and they should adhere to them. Personally I think it was foolish to do this; but that was what they decided. How can a party maintain any level of credibility with anyone if they do not stand behind their own rules? Going forward they need to leave the states alone, I honestly never have understood why the parties would care about when primaries are held. There is only one reason I can thing of, and I say this regarding both parties: It quite simply is about money and about controlling the outcome. Consider both sides and how various candidates ran strong in some states and then not in others. Depending on the sequence of state primaries that can make a particular candidate seem to be much stronger than they really are. I would like to see 25 states vote per primary, gets is over faster and cheaper.

I would be very mad if my vote didn't count, regardless of who I voted for. Voting is a civic duty.

They didn't put him over the top. Of the 14% black population I'm betting that no more than half voted. So no way did that happen.
