C'mon, you're not even convinced yourself if your best argument if to lift someone else's post from [link:http://|Reddit], and just dump it off without comment.

Look. a candidate needs 2,383 votes for the nomination, there are 939 still available. Clinton has 2,293 and she only needs 90 more. Sanders has 1,533, but he must get 850 more to win. Now explain to me why you think Hillary would be "afraid of the Superdelegates"?

Go ask, "vinigreti" for a response. I'll wait.
