The editorial said, “If the Democratic voters in these states [Florida and Michigan] believe they have been disenfranchised, their beef is with state officials for ignoring the rules, not the national committee for enforcing them.” Shouldn’t Democrat voters also have a “beef” with the Democrat candidates (Clinton, Obama, et al) who agreed to the disenfranchisement rule?

As a reminder, the Republican Party had a similar rule but with a different penalty. Instead of eliminating all delegates, Florida and Michigan got half as many delegates as they would have otherwise.
