"if they ended up choosing wrong." geek tragedy Jun 2016 #11

No. That's not why there are super delegates onenote Jun 2016 #30

Supers could technically select Bernie and override millions of Clinton voters. You OK with that? Reiyuki Jun 2016 #33

My post wasn't a defense of supers, it was an explanation onenote Jun 2016 #34

sorry then, not meant as personal attack Reiyuki Jun 2016 #35

I think it would be irresponsible if she weren't. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #6

at this point, she's telling them to keep their endorsement under wraps geek tragedy Jun 2016 #12

Interesting. Thanks. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #15

Thank you. underthematrix Jun 2016 #5

The indictment fairy is going to come, no matter how hard you clap your hands. -nt- Lord Magus Jun 2016 #13

Superdelegates are sane, and no sane person thinks she will be indicted. YouDig Jun 2016 #14

The super delegates will vote for the strongest general election candidate-Hillary Clinton Gothmog Jun 2016 #16

And I have a better argument for Super Delegates to vote for Bernie RoccoR5955 Jun 2016 #17

I think that is about all they have to go with. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #18

So the "will of the voters" is to lose the election to Drumpf? RoccoR5955 Jun 2016 #20

I think HRC will vote for any Democratic in the the GE. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #21

She will, but don't count on the people who have fought so hard to vote, just to have their votes lunamagica Jun 2016 #24

Correction. None of the super delegates are pledged. They are all free agents until they vote. imagine2015 Jun 2016 #22

You know what's meaningless? GE polls five months before the election onenote Jun 2016 #32

Sounds good. I hold that same position for Sanders rallies. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #37

I think #6 and #7 have been the primary motivators fo SDs -esp the 400 who declared before any votes aikoaiko Jun 2016 #23

Or the real reason. basselope Jun 2016 #26
