But since you mention it, she's actually way over 50% - 56% in the Democratic primary polls AND about 98% in Super Delegate "polls" - about 160 for her so far and 2 for Sanders.

If that's a problem for Sanders maybe he should have picked a different party to join?

And elect people... shocker... democratically! Otherwise, it's party by oligarchy. And that's worked sooooooo well for Bush/Clinton/Bush. Not so much for the rest of us common folk.
