I'm amazed at the ignorance about SDs didplayed on this board [View all]

On GD-P

Why is it so hard to get that Pledged Delegates and super Delegates are different things? That SDs are no bound in any way, and they are free to vote as they wish?

I had to laugh at the Sanders supporter taping a SD who said they'd vote foe Hillary, regardless of the outcome in Alaska. They are going nuts over this, as if it was some Watergate-like gotcha moment.

Again SDs ARE NO BOUND TO ANY CANDIDATE OR RESULT. THEY ARE FREE TO VOTE AS THEY WISH.

In a way, I hope Sanders camp gets its wish (though I know it won't happen). Don't they see that if they get their wish, Hillary's lead will grow even bigger? Such classic example of #BernieMath.

Unless they demand that SD must vote like the winner of the state only in states won by Sanders. That wouldn't surprise me at all
