19. No. Remember how long people were saying that there was no agreement
that delegates wouldn't count? That it wasn't in the agreement? And copies of *an* agreement were posted an infinitum to prove it.

In reality, there was another version of the agreement, the one used in Florida, which did specifically state that the delegates would be stripped.

I had a lengthy back-and-forth with someone on this very subject. I wouldn't be at all surprised if plenty of people still had the mistaken impression that there was never any agreement signed by her campaign which plainly stated that delegates would be stripped.

Just because it's the truth doesn't mean it gets beaten to death. Mostly it's the tabloid stuff that gets beaten to death. Details like these are 'boring' and people seem to prefer to go along with conventional wisdom than bother with them.
