Bernie is for superdelegates, after he was against them
Wasnt one of Bernie Sanders virtues his rock-solid unwavering consistency on everything? Ummm...
Before:
If I win a state with 70 percent of the vote, you know what? I think I am entitled to those superdelegates, Mr. Sanders said. I think the superdelegates should reflect what the people of the state want, and thats true for Hillary Clinton as well.
After:
[Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver:] We can argue about the merits of having superdelegates, but we do have them. And if their role is just to rubber-stamp the pledged delegate count, then they really arent needed, right? So theyre supposed to exercise independent judgment about who they think can lead the party forward to victory.
And of course, this came after months and months of attacking the superdelegates as undemocratic tools of the establishment. And you know what? I agreed with that shit, just like I agreed with it when I made those same arguments in 2008.
