Was the Michigan January election fair and legitimate?

[The Hack Hater]

If all other candidates besides Hillary and Mike Gravel withdrew their names from the Michigan state ballot, then of course it's not legtimate. A redo would be nice, but it isn't possible for reasons that most people probably know.

Couldn't he still get behind a revote?

J. J., you haven't presented a compelling reason why he'd be stupid enough to get behind one.  If your best argument is that he'll be the "disenfranchiser".....fuggetaboutit.  He's already calculated that out and is not getting behind it.  His campaign has been anything but stupid....if it would hurt him to not support it,  he'd be screaming for a re-vote.

First, it'd be extreme stupidity to assume such a thing. His campaign only has to look at the numbers to see why it's a bad idea.

Second, I think his campaign is smart enough to realize they have to think in the short term, at least as far as it comes to winning the nomination. They'll think about Michigan after the convention.

He's counting on the delegates not being seated; that is a mistake.  As we both know, if Clinton had hold a bare majority, including the super delegates, they can be seated.  That's the first reason.

The second is that it can have an effect on the MI voters (not to mention that Democratic Party operatives) in the fall.

He doesn't yet realize how damaging this can end up being.
