I'm a very outspoken Clinton supporter. I don't want Superdelegates to matter

[Godhumor]

And I fully expect they would move to support whomever wins more primary and caucus delegates, as they should.

If Hillary can't win enough delegates through the election process; she doesn't deserve to be the nominee, period. The exact same thing applies to Bernie.

If they finish the race on almost equal terms and the Superdelegates do cast the deciding votes, the shitstorm will be catastrophic to the party and the general election.

Every single person on this site has better be hoping for a clear victor before the convention, whether it is Bernie or Hillary. Because the alternative is unthinkable.

I want Clinton to win. I think she will win. But if Bernie pulls off something through all of the state primaries and caucuses that results in him being ahead by even one delegate...every single god damn superdelegate better unite behind him.

1. They wont be allowed to do this or wont do this because the repercussions would guarantee

a GOP white house.

If they did do this, it would be a remarkable display of tone deafness and suicide.

3. How so?

I'm just a naive country boy, so if you're gonna' persuade me what you say is true, you're gonna' have to explain why it would guarantee a GOP White House...

5. I used to believe that.

Then I saw just how much they are willing to destroy in order to help one candidate.

I don't think they'd be dumb enough to destroy the entire party for Clinton, but it's now an 80/20 thing instead of a 100/0 thing.

6. My concern is Bernie fans are so invested in his campaign and him, that if

Hillary does win the nomination fair and square, what happens then?

I would hope they vote for her, but I dont know.

7. Depends on what Clinton does between now and then.

The problem for her is Sanders supporters are very much not authoritarians. It's part of why we support Sanders despite all the authority figures (endorsements, superdelegates, media, etc) telling us to support Clinton.

So Sanders "ordering" his supporters to vote for Clinton will not get a lock-step result.

What happens is very much going to depend on what Clinton does between now and then. If she keeps up with the Brock-fueled bullshit flinging, she will have so enraged Sanders supporters that she will not be able to get a sizeable number to back her.

Couple that with the "meh" she is inspiring from independents, and the orgasmic joy Republicans are anticipating in voting against her. The result would be very, very bad.

Even more concerning is I don't see her reining in the negative attacks from surrogates. She doesn't seem to have a campaign mode between "inevitable" and "scorched earth". "Inevitable" isn't working.

8. There is no evidence Hillary intends to win fair and square.

2. Don't worry, they won't until the end when they fall for the winner (nt)
