14. Super delegates

Hmm, complete turned around now, eh?

Roll call still has not been taken regarding the super delegates (although a lot have supposedly committed to HRC prematurely).

So the job of the super delegate was put in place to stop outsiders from taking over the party and also allows them to put forth the best candidate. Right?

So imagine this. Imagine Bernie wins most of the remaining states. HRC continues her downward spiral regarding elect-ability. Soon, it is obvious as to which candidate will be able to beat Trump, which is the democrats main objective. And lets say, that even though HRC may have more votes, the super delegates realize we will lose with HRC, and switch their premature votes at the convention for Bernie. IT CAN HAPPEN!!!

I know it's really late for this to be occurring, but this revolution is very real. I am not taking ANYTHING off of the table. It's ON.
