It might be an argument for why you'll be the better nominee but that depends on a number of factors. I see no debate here. Either get the majority as the rules require, or be ready to argue why you'd be the best nominee and face the superdelegates as the rules require.

And Bernie played the central role in writing these damn rules by the way after 2016.

If I were to vote in a presidential
