In reply to the discussion: Democrats Plan to Name Lobbyists, Operatives as Superdelegates [View all]Demsrule86
(70,680 posts)This is about not getting a certain candidate...and I fear there will be hell to pay when people realize...it won't happen in 2020 either. Democrats don't do winner take all...mostly. We have proportionate primaries...thus...a candidate could win convincingly and still not have the total delegates...the supers put the winner over the top. A sore loser candidate could cause a great deal of trouble if this was not the case...never happened of course because we have supers. Also, the GOP could mount a operation chaos attack on our primary and influence who wins...and I can think of other good reasons, but there is no point. Some have after 16 been angry with Democrats...and want to blame blame blame...the supers had nothing to do with anything that happened in 16. Look to the future would be my advice.
