Bernie Sanders needs superdelegate support to win. There is no sign he'll get it.

http://www.vox.com/polyarchy/2016/4/18/11451658/sanders-superdelegate-support


This year, by contrast, has seen little movement toward Sanders and no sign that a majority of superdelegates will switch allegiances based on the conclusion of the race. The Sanders campaign is projecting optimism to raise hopes among supporters, but there are not enough uncommitted superdelegates to make up his deficit.

in the delegate count, he's a carpetbagger to the Democratic party, and now he's going to demand that the Superdelegates vote for him? What kind of a moron is he?

Sorry, that's a bit of a non sequitur, but the article mentions him, and I miss his style of journalism. I haven't consistently watched any Sunday news program since he passed.

convention with pledged delegates and not using the SD. Now that would be democratic and fair by their standards, not by reality.
