Michigan Delegates Seated in National Convention?

Both Florida and Michigan have been stripped of delegates going in to the national convention in Denver. Those delegates could determine which candidate wins the nomination if they are allowed to be seated and cast their support to one or more of the candidates!

What would happen if they are seated? The democratic party would be in turmoil! The National DNC would have no power over the next primary/caucus season in four more years! Any state could move up their date and argue that those this year were allowed to be seated and cast their support and so they should be able to as well and rightfully so!

States like Iowa would have problems because by Iowa DNC rules, we have to have our caucus first in the nation. NH law says they have to have their primary with no other primary seven days before of after it's and can't be on the same day as another states! Neither Iowa nor NH will give up their first in the nation spots, so we could end up with a free for all a hole year possibly two years before the actual presidential national election!

Does the National DNC want to give it's control up? I hope not!

We will now have to wait and see what happens!
