Curious this. How can Hillary say she will win the nomination, if the Super Delegates don't even know they are Super Delegates?

Hillary has failed to win the nomination without their help, but already states she will be the nominee even before they have votes.

It is obvious that Hillary was promised this nomination in 2008. I think most of the top Dems knew this and that is why only a couple of people decided to run against her. I think Bernie just thought "What the heck, it would give me a chance to get my message out."

Seriously, who in their mind would want to challenge the Clintons. People that challenge the Clintons have "accidents" and "suicide by proxy".

Well, it isn't November yet and she has a long, hot summer ahead.

^Indeed. She was definitely "promised".

She failed to win the nomination by the vote, so it will go to the convention where the Super Delegates will have to call it for her.

Funny segment by Joh Oliver on how screwed up the primary system is so screwed up for both parties.




John Oliver on primaries, caucuses, and superdelegates: The system is convoluted, but Hillary is still winning (VIDEO).

"But Hillary is still winning"

Whew good thing the only candidate it's rigged for is "still winning".

Even worse, the mainstream media never tells us that CORPORATE LOBBYISTS are superdelegates as well. How corrupt is that! People who work to undermine democracy in the name of crony capitalism are given superdelegate status to decide the winner. Meanwhile, Hillary sends millions of dollars raised from millionaires and Wall Street, straigth to candidates who are also superdelegates and who are in contests against Bernie democrats for Congress and Senate seats.
