Hillary Clinton ALREADY has the votes of 500 Democratic establishment 'superdelegates' locked up
The Daily Mail ^ | 10/30/2015 | Nikki Schwab

Democratic voters haven't even had a say, and Hillary Clinton is already well on her way to becoming the party's nominee.

That's because she's racked up well over 500 superdelegate commitments, according to a count by Bloomberg Politics.

Superdelegates are party brass – ex-presidents, members of congress, state Democratic officials – who can vote for a candidate on top of pledged delegates, whose commitments are bound to the nominating contests they represent.

What do 'superdelegates' sell for these days?

The Dem's who support Bernie Sanders are a different lot from those who supported, say, George McGovern. Bernie's crowd is a lot more passionate.

If Bernie wins the primary popular vote but Hillary gets the nomination because of her superdelegates, there will be a revolt in the Dem party. Bernie's folks will not just shut up.

Bernie might even go third party. Oh wait, this could have a happy ending after all.

If she’s indicted, are her delegated unchained?

No, these are all people that have been in some way benefited by the Clinton Foundation and will continue to benefit under a President Hillary/Clinton Foundation administration.

Frankly, I don’t even see why a primary is required because of the super-vote lock-down.

Please note, the Republicans have virtually the same superdelegate game created as well, and would have all been there for Jeb. All Jeb had to do was win around ten states and he was clear to win the nomination. At present, other than Florida....I don’t think Jeb can carry a first or second place finish in the the remaining 49 states. It’d be hard to explain to the public....Jeb with Florida and the super delegation vote being enough and thus being the Republican candidate

This is why the whole process is a fraud...no matter which party exists.

Impact of the superdelegate vote is overstated. Democrat SDs could have made Hillary the nominee in 2008, but followed the very close primary results instead.

The Republican equivalents of SDs are also worried more about their own personal careers than imposing an unpopular nominee.

Absolute example of a “rigged” election of candidates.

“If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.”
“If you vote for your Democrat representative, you don’t have any say in the matter for they are pre-selected for you.”

That’s the Democrat motto. Check it out...Obama uses the same methods. Democrats prefer that all actions are completed before they have a say in the matter...and what they say is only designed to let them “vent.”

McGovern’s crowd was very passionate—with the Viet Nam War as a major issue.

Indicted? By WHOM? Not this administration. No special prosecutor insisted upon by the republicans in congress either.

You will see her indictment POSSIBLY after a republican administration is elected. But probably not then either

Yep, and Hillary is just the kind of establishment candidate the GOPe can work with. This is why the war on the Progressive and establishment Republican’s common enemy, the Conservatives, will continue. They are scared to death of a President Cruz.

You a Bernie fan? That has to be the only reason you would care. Oops sorry maybe you are for Martin O’Malley.
