I agree this was a mutual compromise and, in terms of the upcoming campaign, both sides need to get over it and move on. But I do think it's worth bookmarking this experience and re-visiting it when time permits. Because this definitely didn't go very well, and the voters of these states have been reduced to poker chips to be exchanged between party officials in negotiation, without regard for what the intent of those voters may have been. That bleak outcome ought to be a wake-up call, because it's a pretty serious fuck-up in a country that claims to be democratic.
