Should be for Democrats

The superdelegate system worked wonderfully this election. It prevented a hostile takeover by an outsider with no ties to the Democratic Party and who is only in it for himself and ego.

No work happened, no effort made...they've been in the tank for Hillary since 2013. They didn't work...they sold-out...or they gave up (probably what really happened)...too afraid to stand up to The Clinton Machine....we're supposed to call them leaders...what a joke!

so use of the past tense is entirely premature. Heck Biden could wind up being the nominee.

The SD system should help insure that the strongest, most-electable candidate is the one we move forward with and that would seem to be the bottom picture, not the top:

Over 200,000 REGISTERED, voted democrat for years, voters removed from the rolls in NY...voter fraud in AZ....election violations in MA....5k votes disappear last night in KY. (Many more, these are just off the top of my head)

Open the Door...Let 'Em In!!
