110. In my view the best thing about Super Delegates, whether intended or not, is

that Super Delegates historically have sided with the candidate who has won the most pledged delegates, and reduces the probability of the convention from going into complete chaos if someone is short a few pledged delegates to clinch the nomination.

Barrack Obama had the most pledged delegates, and because of that, the Super Delegates gave him the votes to get over the top, and provided a stabilizing force to the process.

In this current election, everyone knew the rules going in. Rules do not change suddenly because they don't fit the results one would like to see. In fact Sanders campaign manager, Tad Devine was instrumental in the system we have today.

Who know what will happen in the future, but as far as today, Super Delegates are part of the process, and you don't change rules to suit your needs at the end of the game.
