Democratic Superdelegates Say They’re Willing To Prevent Sanders...

Not the first time I heard talk from the left side about using superdelegates to change things up.

I think it's a shame if the Dems ever do this. IMO, they shouldn't be able to change the election. :rolleyes:

Democratic Superdelegates Say They’re Willing To Prevent Sanders From Becoming The Nominee


The New York Times interviewed 93 Democratic superdelegates, 84 of which said Sen. Bernie Sanders shouldn’t become the nominee based solely on winning most, but not over 50%, of primary and caucus delegates.
“If 60% is not with Bernie Sanders, I think that says something, I really do,” Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas told The Times.
The odds of a contested convention are at 48%, according to FiveThirtyEight’s forecasting model Thursday.


Dozens of Democratic superdelegates say they’re willing to sacrifice party cohesion to prevent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from becoming their party’s nominee at the Democratic National Convention in July.

The New York Times spoke with 93 superdelegates following Sanders’s victory in the Nevada caucuses on Feb. 22, the vast majority of which said they believe the Democratic Party is headed toward a contested convention. Of the superdelegates interviewed, 84 said Sanders does not deserve to become the party’s nominee based solely on having secured the most, but not over 50%, of the delegates during the primaries and caucuses.

“If 60% is not with Bernie Sanders, I think that says something, I really do,” Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas told The Times.

Current forecasting models back up the superdelegates’ prediction of a contested convention — FiveThirtyEight’s model showed Thursday a 48% chance that no candidate comes out of the primaries and caucuses with a simple majority of delegates, despite Sanders’s current standing as the undisputed frontrunner with victories in New Hampshire and Nevada.

The FiveThirtyEight model showed Thursday that Sanders has a 37% of clinching the nomination before the convention and former Vice President Joe Biden in a distant third with 13% odds.

Hitlery had 08 in the bag and superdelegates, voting against the wishes of their constituencies, gave the Dem Primary to His Holiness. So we got the unconstitutional, America-hating tyrant instead of the Mafia kingpin. Yea for us :rolleyes:

Point is, it is a perfect illustration of NOT being represented in government by one's vote. We rebelled against our King with "taxation without representation" at the forefront of our reasons why. Now, we just sit and take it.

Dems party, dems rules. Superdelegates are part of that, ask Bernie about last election.

Truth is, distant cousin of electoral college.

And odds are that even the Hitlery Clinton, bad as that dog/ hag is --would have done less damage to this nation than that ffing traitor obama did.
Which is a damn solid gold fact, imho,
Sanders is a damn insane socialist moron. Hitlery is an ugly hateful greedy corrupt hag..
Neither one is worth a damn and both are enemies of this nation..-Tyr

Since Biden won S.C., you know damn well commie Bernie is going to "feel the burn" one more time, and, his minions will be so pissed off that no way in hell will they vote for creepy uncle Joe.

Trump wins again, easily.
