Seems to me, if superdelegates have any real purpose, it's to ensure that the candidate to win the party nomination is the one proven to be the most electable.
A candidate who doesn't energize voters in blue and purple states, who doesn't energize the largest voting bloc (independents), but does strongly energize the opposition, should be exactly the type of candidate to be overridden by the supers, no matter that said candidate managed to win the popular vote.

(2,603 posts)and the OP is dead on. If we buck what the blue and purple states say and go with what the red states say instead we will lose the GE.
The SD's need to put their vote towards the strongest GE candidate if they wish to keep the WH and have a shot of rebuilding our strength in the House and Senate.
