There's a reason why Bernie has hundreds of superdelegates...

...while Hillary only has 8.

It's because they know full well that Hillary can't win! I mean, look at her corruption, her scandals, her total lack of appeal to young people! And look at the matchup polls! Do you really think the superdelegates are going to support someone so unelectable?

Hillary fans can complain all day long, but the superdelegate system is legitimate and trustworthy, whether they like it or not. They're just angry because they know the winds are blowing against Hillary, and they're nervous.

Bernie has hundreds of superdelegates because he's going to win, and the DNC knows it, and they're #FeelingTheBern.

And I thought it was because in that Bizarro world, Sanders was the Establishment candidate, and Hillary was the Indie threatening to end the corporate cash gravy train that they all fund their election campaigns with.

No, sorry: I can only detect spite. Difficult to be nice about spiteful supporters of the status quo.

Nomination the GOP would immediately go into the getting mode and I have already seen articles of where the getting will be going.
