"I think it is probably the case that the candidate who has the most pledged delegates is going to be the candidate, but there are other factors. And the other factors will be the strength of each of us in taking on the Republican candidate...."

No one can argue that the race has not completely changed since most of the Hillary delegates endorsed her.

Yes, superdelegates will probably go with the pledged delegate outcome, but given the way the race evolved, and given Clinton's unprecedented unfavorable numbers, the superdelegates MUST be given a chance to consider these factors.

I don't like having superdelegates at all, but the fact is, we have them. The Democratic Party added superdelegates to prevent a candidate they believe is too weak from taking the nomination. They must be given a chance to do their jobs. Everyone that continues to contribute absolutely agrees.
