Primaries are not about democracy or the "will of the people." They are about membership in political parties. Political parties are, believe it or not, private organizations that can make their own rules. So, as a society of rule and law, it is important in the United States that the rules are followed and that rule breakers are punished. Democrats in Florida and Michigan broke party rules by holding primaries early. Their delegates should not be seated nor should they be allowed a "do over." Their votes were not political enfranchisement, but party procedure.
So, Hillary, shut up and prove to the world that a Clinton is able to follow the rules.

Good point. I have yet to see that mentioned anywhere. Even so the people's voices have been heard. The big complaint I keep hearing it that the people of FL and MI deserve to have their voices heard. They actually have. The democratic voters in both those states elected people to represent their interests who saw fit to ignore the rules of the national nominating process. The voters of FL and MI should have their say. They did and will. The next time they vote they ought to vote for people other than the knuckleheads that decided to disenfranchise them. 48 out of 50 states managed to get it right.
