It's just another example of a party's bigwigs looking to subvert the will of the voters if it doesn't match the bigwigs' plans.

Super delegates are undemocratic. The GOP's nonsense does not excuse our own party's nonsense.

do this and oust Trump, kiss the GOP good-bye. I would say a good many of them will revolt. Not only for this election, but for decades. The GOP will lose their base.
