the Democratic Party grants 388 "superdelegates"
who are not beholden or constituted by any primary or caucus.
essentially, these 388 superdelegates are used to override the
votes of the people and impose a top-down result from party brass.
nobody will know whom these 388 superdelegates will vote for until
the convention, however it is suspected that they have been bought
by the Clinton campaign.
Most of them have been surveyed and they said who they'd vote for..
yeah, they could change.. but until they do.. they havent..
If Sanders got enough delegates in enough states it is theoretically possible for him to be the Democratic nominee. But it seems unlikely he will win more than NH and VT... and even more unlikely he'll get more delegates than Clinton. First of all, he needs the black and hispanic liberal vote, and they're backing Clinton.
Goodness folks... same time, same place 11 years ago Super Delegates, women, minorities were backing Clinton, then Obama won Iowa, but lost New New Hampshire, came back and won Nevada and South Carolina and the Clinton coalition started shifting. If you can predict the electoral future you are wasting your time here and could be making millions of dollars as an election fortune teller.
Says everyone the first time they vote for a losing candidate. My awakening was in 1972, I truly thought McGovern had a fighting chance, LOL!
I haven't voted for anyone yet. What a ridicules statement.
