2016 Postmortem

(7,720 posts)the super delegates in the totals. I felt the proper target was a majority of the pledged delegates, which is 2026. That is the primary finish line, and it is directly affected by the voter/candidate dynamic. Super delegates are affected by a party/candidate dynamic where the primary vote is also weighed.
But in a two-way race, the role of the Super delegates are more an affirmation of the primary. Why I don't like APs announcement as a Hillary supporter is that she won this nomination by campaigning across this country for those primary votes. The supers didn't hand her this nomination; the voters did.
I truly think that tomorrow's tally would have put the exclamation point to Hillary's real popularity. The AP announcement negates the months, the miles, the meetings, the years, the relationships Hillary has worked and developed to get here.
AP seems to have interjected itself. Kanye West comes to mind. LOL!
OK Hillary. I'ma let you finish, but the supers gave you this.
