What will happen with those Florida and Michigan delegates? According to Matt Grossman, Political Science Professor from Michigan State University.

"Scenario one, is that one of the candidate drops out of the race and the other candidate would make a quick agreement to seat the delegates, scenario two would be that candidates in the national party together would reach some kind of compromise based in part by the results of the primary and or the national primary results. Third scenario is that this gets fought out by the credentials committee but the credentials committee coming up with an independent formula seems unlikely."

Vote Democrat wall stencilHave voters had it up to here?

"There are lots of people who have started to notice how crazy the nomination process is for the presidential candidates."

Is there anything good coming out of all this?

"A lot of Americans have had a big opportunity to participate in the process in many states."

That was Matt Grossman Political Science Professor at Michigan State University.
