This is the natural ebb and flow of politics. Just like this sudden outrage about superdelegates. Superdelegates aren't new. This isn't some new phenomenon that started with Hillary Clinton. But for whatever reason, this election cycle there is such outrage that there are superdelegates already committed to her. Personally, I DON'T like the idea of superdelegates and never have. But the outrage this cycle is on hyperdrive.

Yes, Bernie supporters are going to be very upset. I forget who was on one of the cable shows and made a very good point. In 2008, Obama was the movement, and he said its much easier to get the establishment to go with the movement, then to get the movement to go with the establishment. So I think you could have more disaffected Bernie supporters this cycle. I'm undecided. Once I vote in April, if I vote Bernie and it ends up being Hillary then I will back Hillary. Can't afford to not vote or sit out.
