List of Super Delegates for 2016

If you would like to inform them that you wish for them to change to Bernie from Clinton, here is the list of Super Delegates so far. My area for Bernie is writing on these individuals FB pages to please consider changing their endorsement to Bernie Sanders. Thought I would pass it along to Bernie's people here for your info.

1. One tip: Focus on those from your own congressional district or

state. You'll have more influence with them than elected officials from other states and districts. Also, don't just post on their Facebook pages. Write directly to them, either in email or snail mail. Many of those elected officials never visit their Facebook page, which is created and managed by a staff member.

Above all, be concise and polite. Rants influence nobody. They simply don't.

8. The Tea Party / Grover Norquist-style Pledges. These "Loyalty Oaths" are NO different!

Make politicians beholden to candidates, against popular support, questioning political legitimacy!



See, the DNC and the RNC aren't that dissimilar after all!

If Bernie takes the pledged delegates they'll switch their support on their own. If he doesn't they won't. It's really just that simple.


The pledged delegates will decide the race, not the superdelegates. They're just a sideshow.

I hope more folks do this to cover their states here on DU.

I'll also bring the list to share with all the local Bernie volunteers to act and radiate out to their friends.

9. Denver Dem Convention-DeGette's statement
Tue Mar 29, 2016, 06:04 PM
Mar 2016

At the Denver Democratic convention last Saturday US Rep (D) DianaDeGette said she would vote the will of the people. Bernie carried Colorado and he did so overwhelmingly at the Denver Convention. Another super delegate stated he had supported Hillary for a long time and as people began to boo and shake Bernie for President signs he boasted we are supposed to be nice to him and he walked off the stage.

How do we know where the super delegates stand? The national news and pollsters act like they have a running tally.
