In reply to the discussion: A Bernie Sanders Supporter Confronted a Superdelegate — Then Leaked Their Private Conversation [View all]strategery blunder
(4,225 posts)"We got rid of rigged conventions a half century ago!" (Especially if Trump wins an outright majority and our supers rig it, oh that would be a horror show.)
Worse, the conduct of the DNC over the course of the entire primary has been anything but impartial (and I'm not talking about endorsements) and will only feed such perceptions further.
Outside of the DU bubble, that attack will doom our nominee, no matter if it is Hillary or Bernie, if the supers override the pledged delegate majority.
I fear the supers, in their arrogance, will not give adequate consideration to the general-election consequences of overriding the primary results. And I reiterate (as a Bernie supporter) that such foolish behavior could go either way, although I expect Hillary to be the short-term beneficiary of such foolishness.
