Now, THAT would be an honest way to go about securing a nomination.

I'd also mention that the Ds having super delegates certainly follows the intent of allowing a political party to "define its identity." It's a way for the Ds to say, no, we are NOT a socialist party, and we have put in place a mechanism to counter any attempt to make us into a socialist party, because we get to define our identity, not an outsider.
