Hey Warren: Do you understand that superdelegates ALREADY swayed the election

[Skwmom]

because the superdelegate drum was constantly beat in an attempt to decrease support for Bernie?

But of course that TRUTH doesn't support the corporatist wing of the Democratic Party so we ignore it.

[puffy socks]

1. Aaaaand Warren is thrown under

the bus !


Hilarious! That didnt take long

[Doctor Jack]

2. Get under there Warren!

[qdouble]

3. Just like superdelegates swayed the election in '08, causing Obama to lose the nomination...

oh wait..

[moriah]

22. You're speaking in that language called "sense". Don't be surprised...

... when you're ignored by the others who aren't as fond of it.

[Garrett78]

4. How many people have even heard of superdelegates?

If anything, I think it would have helped Sanders in this anti-establishment environment. But I seriously doubt it had any impact on the primary and caucus results.

Speaking of caucuses, they suppress the vote in a big way and ought to be done away with. Replace them all with primaries.

[Nye Bevan]

5. So how would that work exactly?

"I really like Bernie Sanders and his policies..... but I'm not going to vote for him in the primary because SUPERDELEGATES?"

Who thinks like that?

[Peachhead22]

18. "Who thinks like that?" Many people

6. The media constantly included supers from the start.

Shameful.

[k8conant]

7. Yes, indeed!

It is yet another example of the media pushing the nomination process (along with ignoring Bernie for so long in their coverage).

[Nye Bevan]

8. And did that prevent you from supporting or voting for Bernie? (nt)

[Juicy_Bellows]

9. Not me but it had an impact on some voters.

To pretend otherwise is foolish.

[pnwmom]

12. So did Bernie's endorsement from Killer Mike. That's why he sought it.

Maybe he should have gotten more endorsements instead of complaining about Hillary's.

[Juicy_Bellows]

14. The supers should have never been included without a giant disclaimer.

That would be what the DNC requested.

[pnwmom]

16. Where is your evidence that a single voter was stymied by those endorsements,

when millions of Bernie voters were clearly undeterred?

[Nye Bevan]

13. Why would it? If someone liked Bernie why would they not vote for him? (nt)

[Juicy_Bellows]

15. Non political people look and see a candidate so far ahead and they either

Dont participate or back what they presume to be the winner.

But you know that already.

[brooklynite]

25. I see: Clinton was "ahead" in Super Dels...as opposed to being ahead in VOTES and PLEDGED DELs

[Adrahil]

23. Is there any evidence of that?

Or are you just making a claim?

I've heard the claim, but have never seen any empirical evidence to back it up.

[pnwmom]

10. They were unpledged delegates ENDORSING Hillary. Endorsements are meant to sway people.

Maybe Bernie should have gotten more of his own lined up, instead of complaining from the beginning about how many supporters Hillary had.

[Tarc]

11. Perhaps Bernie was just a weak candidate?

Obviously Obama was able to breach the superdelegate wall in 2008.

[Peachhead22]

20. Yeah, because a 100 SD advantage that the press rarely talked about...

...is exactly the same as a 400 SD advantage that the press wouldn't shut up about. /s

[Tarc]

21. The press talked about it constantly

Keep making excuses, tho....

[JoePhilly]

17. And the bus turns towards Warren.

[thucythucy]

30. And here I kept hearing that Warren was their first choice.

This is getting tiresome indeed.

[anotherproletariat]

19. So, Sanders supporters are that easily swayed? Interesting. nt

[tandem5]

24. I bet the corporatist wing has a really cool secret handshake

[MisterP]

27. one hand with the knife, the other with your wallet?

[bravenak]

26. Sour grapes

Spit them out!

[JimDandy]

28. Yes. It's impossible to ferret out exactly how much Clinton and the media's

collaboration to include the SD #s in the total's bolster her campaign, but they wouldn't have done it if they didn't think it would sway the election.

[NanceGreggs]

29. Amazing how ...

... the great, unstoppable "Revolution" of millions and millions of people was so easily sidetracked.

That's probably why the British let go of the Colonies - they found out that the American patriots had more super-delegates than they did.

[bjo59]

31. I'm sure she knows this. My opinion of Warren isn't what it used to be.

[msongs]

32. bernie says supers are b ad. oh unless they vote for HIM when they are great. hypocrisy eh? nt
