Here's a list of super delegates. You can see who they are. You can see that the vast majority are Democratic party insiders.
I would say that the premise that the Democratic insiders Sanders is attacking aren't going to rush to his support is indeed a valid premise. And that the belief that these insiders, who endorsed Clinton and have stayed with her this far aren't going to switch to Bernie even if he wins California if she captures a majority of pledged delegates.
But keep on believing whatever you want. Just don't act shocked when reality smacks you in the face.
