"A new Reuters head-to-head national general-election poll of likely voters puts Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump at a mere one point41 percent to 40 percent with 19 percent of respondents undecided. It's not the only recent poll that has showed a close race, and Clinton's lead over Trump in RealClearPolitics' running average has shrunk a bit (she currently leads 47.3-40.9)"

IMHO, elected superdelegates will switch if Hillary continues to slide in the polls against trump. That's assuming Bernie continues on the path he's on. We cannot forget that the FBI "investigation" today went from a drip, drip to a trickle.

The director emphasized that there would be no "special set of rules" for anyone under FBI investigation.

(10,472 posts)The superdelegates (the majority anyways) do not look at what they state did, but rather look at the whole. Almost all will vote for the one who wins the most pledged delegates overall, i.e. hitting the magic 2,026 number.

Let that sink in. Under no scenario will Sanders be the Democratic nominee for president in 2016.
