All those delegates being elected by the two parties in all the primaries choose the next candidate for their respective parties, right? Yup - if you are a Republican, but not if you are a Democrat.

In the Democratic party, some delegates are more equal than others. The voters are chosing delegates, but have no say (directly) in the super delegates.

Super Delegates are elected Dem party officials. The “Super Delegate” system was set up to prevent candidates from winning that the party establishment don’t want to represent the party. The Super Delegates are not bound to vote for any particular candidate and to top it all off, Bill Clinton is a Super Delegate!!
