Superdelegates simply aren't feeling the Bern

There is a reason why so many Democrat superdelegates are unwavering in their support of Hillary Clinton.

And that is because she is one of them, and Bernie Sanders is not.

Clinton has been with them in the Democrat Party trenches for ages, while Sanders, a career-long independent with socialist tendencies, remained aloof from Democrat Party campaigns and elections.

Back before the once obscure Vermont senator ran for president and found fame, no Democrat running for office would have dreamed of having Sanders campaign for him or her. Who in their right mind needed an avowed socialist aroun

So I gather you are saying that Senator Inouye gave us Obama who is responsible for destroying the Democrat Party?

“Super delegate”. Somebody in marketing must have thought up that term. Like this kind of insider corruption is any way “super”. I call them by what they are: "Crony" delegates.

That arrogant self-important t*** has never been near a trench nor has she ever put herself out for one second for anyone except herself. Corrupt and evil, she was properly characterized when she got fired from her first job. “In the trenches”. Don’t make me laugh.

Even if Bernie were ahead in pledged delegates, the superdelegates would all go to Clinton. The Democratic Party decided that it's Hillary's turn, and nothing can dissuade them.

We're fortunate that the GOP doesn't have as many unpledged delegates to rig the game in favor of candidates anointed by the establishment, otherwise we'd probably be stuck with someone like Jeb or Marco.

NO ! The exact opposite !

In 2008 Hillary won the superdelegates. Pelosi and team convinced her (Somehow.. I’m baffled) to concede to Obama. She kept her delegates though.

The superdelegate thing is designed to prevent another McGovern - who history quickly rewrote as the victim.

They say that he was “thought to be communist” because “.. of his anti-vietnam war stance”. The truth is that he was a communist BEFORE the war and he was rooting for the other side.

And McGovern was going to win the presidency. Back then a few democrats still had some love of this country and set out to stop it. They threw themselves on a grenade.

The days of these democrats is long gone now. They don’t merely capitulate with the enemy, they ARE the enemy. All CPUSA endorsed and driven.

So where does Senator Inouye fit into this?

Oops ! He was keynote speaker, not chairman that year.

I got my facts screwed up.

Superdelegates are bought and the Clintons have more money.
She will lose in a landslide as she cannot even win outright against a 74 year old socialist deadbeat.

Perhaps they simply don't want to die.

OK, so literally, Sanders actually is one of them.
It’s only Angus King (Independent but caucuses with the Democrats) who isn’t.

Now who is:

I figure it must be Hillary?
