5. I don't have a problem with the super delegates, actually...

I do think they should not declare until a few weeks before the convention at most, though. That little gaffe led to a lot of bad publicity for the Dems last cycle.

I kind of like that there is a buffer that would keep a Trump-like candidate at bay for Dems, but they shouldn't declare until later in the primaries. At least make a rule that super-delegates don't commit until their home state primary, and should not declare publicly, either.
