Will super delegates decide to nominate Hillary and hand the general election to Trump?

[imagine2015]

I hope not.

[Hoyt]

1. No, they will cast votes for best and most electable Democrat, Clinton.

[Sejon]

2. Polls say that is Bernie

[FarPoint]

5. Of course Push Polls. ...they lean Bernie at times.

Polls are ambivalent at best. We Democrats, we vote Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Nominee.

[Sejon]

7. Except when they support your candidate, of course

And then we get spammed with them dozens of times a day.

[JaneyVee]

6. Zero attack ads.

[Sejon]

9. There's nothing Bernie can be attacked on

That's why the Hillary campaign has had to resort to making stuff up about him for months.

[JaneyVee]

13. LOL. Yeah, Im sure they'll just let this shit slide...

[Agschmid]

3. Those aren't the only options.

Lol.

[JaneyVee]

4. Current election projection: HRC 347 - DJT 193. WOMP WOMP.

8. The establishment usually has a hard time recognizing the "others" accomplishments

[jwirr]

10. I hope not. But when I see them speak I have my doubts.

I think a lot of them are really out of touch. Or owned.

[franannjo]

11. of course they will.

When trumpenfuehrer wins the general,the dem. powers might realize what corruption can cost and how irrelevant they have become by alienating millions of voters and by trying to coronate a has been frog.

12. Hillary herself wants the supers to vote for the most electable dem for the GE.

will find and post...
edit: did find this clip of DWS on Maddow way back Feb.20 saying the media is being disingenuous adding supers into the count and they are not ultimately pledged until they vote in July (still looking for Hillary vid)

14. I think it's in bad taste to mock Sanders supporters like this.

[pampango]

15. If they select Bernie without him leading in delegates or votes, I hope they offer voters

profuse thanks to voters for participating in an apparently less-than-meaningful primary process.

If we are going to use polls and superdelegates to decide our nominee that is simple and clear cut. We should explain that to our voters before the primary votes, not after. In 2020 we can just have some debates before the convention, check the polls just before the convention then have superdelegates do what they do best.

16. Whats the alternative?

Give the nomination to Sanders and piss of millions of Clinton voters? Do you not like there would be a massive blow back if that happened? She is almost certainly going to end up with millions of more votes and hundreds of more delegates than Sanders. What is the justification for hundreds of superdelegates deciding to hand the nomination to Sanders? Polls showing that Clinton is crushing Trump and Sanders is crushing him...slightly more?

I could see your point, if Sanders was ahead in pledged delegates or popular vote but Clinton was going to be handed the nomination by the superdelegates but that isn't whats happening. I say this as someone that voted for sanders in the primaries, there is no good reason to give him the nomination at this point.
