history at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate Many of those who do, don't seem to care.

Their extreme - and downright silly - reactions will likely cause more SuperDs than ever to dig in their heels for Hillary now than to switch. But switch they will - IF and ONLY IF - Bernie wins the majority of pledged delegates, i.e., wins the majority of the remaining primaries/caucuses.

Bernie's campaign and supporters show how they expect NO rules to apply to them whatsoever, whether those rules be those of the DNC or the FEC. That does not bode well with working together with anyone or for respect for the law in general. These ongoing temper tantrums about anything and everything show a very vicious underbelly.

If one wants the party's backing and the use of its resources, one abides by the party's rules. Period.
