Those of us in other states have NOT forgotten how FL and MI got into this mess and jeopardized their own citizens votes. It's not the DNCs fault. It's not Howard Dean's fault. It's not Obama's fault. It's not Hillary's fault. It's not the fault of the other 48 states who can follow simple rules.

It is Florida's fault.

It is Michigan's fault.

4. I'm offended that Iowa and NH think they have some god given right to go first
MI and Fl broke the rules, so I don't think they should be seated.

But the larger problem is the totally unfounded sense of entitlement that two states have to dictate the calendar every four years.

6. I agree completely.
And I deeply resent the screams of victimhood allegedly representing those two states. You do NOT represent a majority of this country, thank you very much, and everybody else managed to play by the rules without crying in their ballots. Thanks for fucking everything up, MI and FL.
