Super delegates became an artifact of the democRAT party after George McGovern won the nomination in 1972. The party wanted to ensure that a populist was never nominated again.

The party that does this, or even contemplates this is no better than a stinking Union and deserves to be taken down and extinguished.

McGovern was a populist? He was a hard-core leftie with bad dentures who was always seen in the company of Barbra Streisand and Warren Beatty. The Democrats didn’t want an outright commie to win the nomination, hence the super delegates. Didn’t work out the way they hoped.
