like Super Delegates are their best friends.

After complaining that these Superdelegates were going to hand Hillary the nomination, for months, they've now realized that she is going to win with the votes, and arguing that even if she's ahead, if she's sort of the necessary delegates, that the super delegates should hand Bernie the nomination.

Bernie himself argued this this morning.

Also, Jake, I would say that, as the campaign progresses and if, if we do well in a number of states, and if the general sentiment becomes that Bernie Sanders is the candidate who will defeat Donald Trump -- and all of the polls -- virtually all of the polls have me doing better against Trump than Hillary Clinton -- I think a lot of those superdelegates who are today pledged to Hillary Clinton may say, what's most important is defeating Trump or the Republican nominee. Bernie Sanders is the candidate to do that. We're going to swing over to Bernie.


The audacity of complaining for months that the super delegates were going to override the will of the voters and then coming out now and asking super delegates to do just that, to disenfranchise all of us that have supported Hillary, to hand him the nomination is unbelievable.
