If I am a superdelegate, do I want the candidate who is overpreforming...

[Joe the Revelator]

...or the polarizing candidate who has under preformed in 2 primary seasons and is about to lose 8 out 9 states since the contest left the south?

[Firebrand Gary]

1. You want the candidate who has won the vast majority of votes.

Hillary. End of story.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. Do they? It seems if they have any sort of purpose at all, it would be to put a limping candidate...

who won the majority of her delegates months ago, out to pasture.

2. Well, the people supporting Hillary are all for supporting the nominee, whoever it is, so....

let's just make it easy. Make it Bernie. Bernie will also bring along all his support, all the Independents and young people, and even some Republicans.

Easy formula for a win in November.

Or you can go the other way, which doesn't look nearly so promising.

3. I choose the one who brings positive, enthusiastic energy into the

race, as well as new voters by the bus loads. What comes first, however, is the candidate's platform; I choose the one who pushes for a government "of the people, for the people, & by the people."

5. Maybe on a hybrid bus.

Ha-ha.....was just making fun of the emoji. This process confounds me. The person who has the overwhelming lead at the beginning third claims practical victory, and then as more states vote and the opposer begins picking up momentum with more votes, the news cuts coverage of the opposer's public speech. Amazing free press we have here. The people are beginning to speak.

9. I'm right there with you.

I was watching CNN, & they actually gave his speech 30 minutes. Just a few short minutes after they cut him off, Anderson Cooper mentioned that Bernie just finished his speech.

I was grateful that he was given that much time -- Bernie was happy about the win.

The panel of pundits were pretend-speculating on why Hillary didn't dive a concession speech; the truth is, she's at one of her uppity $10k/plate fundraisers with 60 attendees.

6. I thought you wanted the candidate with the most votes...

...that was the message last week.

[JoePhilly]

7. You aren't a super delegate.

See ... you'd need to win an election or two to become one.

And that takes more work than many Bernie supporters are willing to put in.

[geek tragedy]

8. If you're a superdelegate, you're not wasting time at DU. nt

[Joe the Revelator]

10. Rhetorical. Obviously.

[floppyboo]

11. that'd be 9 out of 10 if you count Nevada. And what about those Wisconsin delegates?

Is there the same kind of allocation of delegates to the convention by district for primaries? Is this the issue CoffeeCat was following? Who goes there? I'm not being sarcastic or any of that negative shit - it's a serious question.
