Can FL democratic leaders just appoint their delegates to whoever wins the Jan 29th beauty contest?

[Herman Munster]

My idea would be for Florida voters to vote as scheduled on January 29th. Then a few weeks later the Florida democratic party holds a small caucus where just its board of directors or florida elected officials can vote and they vow to vote for the winner of the January 29th beauty contest.

That way, officially the caucus was held after Feb. 5th but the result is in effect the same, the winner of the January 29th primary gets the delegates.

1. Jan 29th is our primary

There is no "beauty contest". The winner of the Florida Democratic primary should be the only Dem eligible for the Florida Presidential ballot.

The DNC made it clear that they don't need Florida ... and we sure as heck don't need them.
