202. I disagree
The biggest pushers for this whole fiasco were the DLC people, Hillary's political allies....there is great advantage to Hillary for having that primary date moved up. Name recognition was a big driver in those early primaries, which is exactly why early primaries are held in small states like Iowa where the voters can get to know them

Florida trying to rush the schedule puts undue influence on the most recognizeable candidate with the most money. At the time, it was Hillary.

They knew what they were doing, and if things went south, they could always argue about the "disenfranchised voters" placed firmly in Hillary's pocket early in the process.

By the way, Hillary's supporters voted FOR the stripping of these delegates on the RBC. You would think they had something in mind.
