Should Michigan and Florida's 313 delegates now be allowed to sit?

No. Not without re-caucus at the expense of the Democratic Party.

Though I am a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton, I am disappointed to learn that she wants (now) to include Michigan and Florida's delegates. Yes, I am clearly hopeful that she will win and become our next president. However, the Democratic Party was the entity that disallowed (penalized) Michigan and Florida by disallowing their 313 delegates to sit because they held their caucuses early. It was not a personal decision on her part to further her campaign.

I am hopeful that she, like Barack Obama, will agree to do as the Democratic Party has agreed, forget that the delegates exist (sorry delegates) and either re-caucus at the Party’s expense or just let those delegates go and get on with running a good, clean campaign as before - even if it means neither candidate will have the required delegates to secure their nomination by the Democratic Party.
