Establishment delegates are not going to jump ship for a neophyte who could cost them their jobs.
They’d rather lose with Hillary than win with Bernie.

This list tracks current support for given candidates among the 719
unpledged delegates (commonly known as
superdelegates) who will cast a vote at the
2016 Democratic National Convention, to be held July 2528 in
Philadelphia.
[1] The 8 unpledged delegates from
Democrats Abroad carry half-votes at the convention, yielding a total of 715 votes.
[2] Unpledged delegates represent about 15% of the overall convention votes (4,770 delegates, 4,766 votes) and come from several categories of prominent
Democratic Party members:

They were purchased way ahead of time by the Clinton Crime Syndicate.
One of the very first moves of her campaign.

The Democrat superdelegates are _designed_ to keep Sanders out. Created in response to the almost clinched McGovern election they were created to keep communists out.
Now that has been warped quite a bit - seeing how a YUGE majority of dems are CPUSA endorsed.
Inhofe created the death knell of the party. And I thank Inhofe for doing it !

Good!
Those people are needed to get limping Hillary over the line.
It will tick off the Bernouts, and many will bolt.

Hillary’s ticket just got punched if the latest news is correct. We’’ll know for sure when the May FEC reports are available.
I think the super delegates will have to feel the Biden or Biden will feel them after Hillary drops out.

Hillary’s “How to win the Democratic Nomination” gig. Simply pay off the 35 million dollar DNC debt, and the DNC chair will order all delegates to vote for Hillary or lose their status as a Delegate forever.
Bribery, payoffs, blackmail.
To: luke1825
The superdelegates are DC insiders and power brokers—they have no allegiances except to their offshore bank accounts.
Therefore a discussion of policy or standard politics will tell you nothing about what they will do.
They will do whatever they believe is necessary to retain their stranglehold on power. Up to now they believed that Hillary could/would make that happen.
There are many events that could change that perception—just don’t be shocked if their allegiance shifts on a dime.
The definition of a crook is a Politician who, when bought, won’t stay bought.

The Superdelegate concept is the equivalent of starting the Super Bowl by giving one team a 3 touchdown lead before the opening kickoff.

Many (most?) of them were bribed with Clinton money or promises of access and influence long ago.

Gee, what do you suppose the tip-off is? That he actually runs explicitly as a socialist?

That’s because “super” delegates have already been bought and paid for by the Clinton cartel.
