In 2008, Tad Devine Predicted ‘Very Bad Reaction’ If Superdelegates Contradicted Will of Voters

Bernie’s top aide Tad Devine, who helped create the superdelegate system, told the Washington Post that “Sanders’s broader aim is the more important one: getting super-delegates as a group, including in states that backed Clinton, to support him.”

He even said Sanders would call for this switch if Sanders trailed in the popular vote and was very close behind in the pledged delegate count, too.
Devine felt very differently in 2008. When asked by NBC’s Brian Williams to comment on the ’08 Democratic primary, he said this:

Now if one candidate goes out and succeeds in the days and weeks ahead and that candidate looks like the candidate who has proven themselves to the voters and the superdelegates go in a different direction, I think there will be a very bad reaction among the voting public.

2. The Sanders primary campaign has moved into Desperation Mode.

They are abandoning all previous tactics and going hard negative. It's now "win at all costs" and pick up the pieces later.

3. The will of the people still sides with Hillary

A few proclaimed primary wins, none of which were decisive has not changed that.

4. Tad Devine is being made a multimillionaire to change his mind.

5. But the shoe is now on the other foot

...and he hopes that the young voters that make up the bulk of Sanders' support were too young to remember.

6. Only one of the two are leading by 2.5 million more voters....

8. It just may encourage more donatons to Sanders, who are the winners to keep the donations coming

in and the pay check still going to Devine. The SD was not created to do the things Devine is crying now, another talking point which will probably not come to pass. I am thinking if Hillary continues to get the delegates like she has she will have the delegates by the convention, Sanders will not, he needs about 60% of the remaining primaries to get enough. He needs twice delegates as Hillary needs.
