Clinton and media outlets are still counting superdelegates in voter tallies, despite pleas from DNC

65. They might be OK if not misused the way they have been

My post you referred to did not mention that the DNC tried to call quits to counting superdelegates over a month ago, and both the media and Hillary campaign have kept on doing it in spite of that request and attempt to stop the inappropriate use of superdelegates.

Including Hillary members here who are just trying to scare Bernie supporters into not fighting for or donating to Bernie anymore, which is nasty in my view. They think the media can call a "presumptive nominee" and it will scare Bernie into quitting. He's said repeatedly he will not do that. He's going all the way to the convention. I'm behind him 100% and would be delighted if he pulled a win out of this (and yes...it is still possible, even if not probable... up to the superdelegate votes at the convention).

Any night that you have a primary or caucus, and the media lumps the superdelegates in, that they basically polled by calling them up and saying who are you supporting, they don't vote until the convention, and so they shouldn't be included in any count."
