(57,936 posts)Superdelegates are pledged but can change their minds and probably will if Bernie wins big.
The DNC is not going to go against the democratic vote of grass-roots Democrats. That would be stupid. Offensive.
Hillary will win delegates on Super Tuesday. But Bernie can win California, and win it big.

(26,549 posts)Pledged delegates are required to vote for a particular candidate in the first convention votes. Superdelegates are not. You should not conflate the two.

(26,549 posts)The formula used by the DNC to allocate delegates is based on past general election votes. A lot of the states on Tuesday have reliably voted Republican, so they get far fewer delegates-per-person.

Bernie will win big in California. Plus he will win a few delegates on Super Tuesday.
Super Tuesday is not that big a deal. It's got several Southern states that will not vote for Hillary or any other Democrat in November.

(26,549 posts)Superdelegates will mostly vote for the candidate with the most pledged delegates. Because that's the only defensible position that keeps those superdelegates in their elected position.
Probably Oregon too. Don't listen to the media. They want to make it seem like it's over now. Hillary will do well in conservative states with conservative Democrats like herself. Once the more liberal states start their primaries it's time for Bernie to come from the back of the race and over take her.

(1,268 posts)I agree he'll win Calif. but from living in Sacramento for a few years, you kinda learn the demographics of the state.
He should win big in Bay Area and L.A. Humbolt County for sure.
But if Bernie is able to get a big chunk of the Latino vote in Fresno, Bakersfield, and Modesto, it will really show some strength.
Better yet, it would be YUUUUGGGGGEE.

(57,936 posts)Super Tuesday should not get us down. It's mostly very conservative states. Lots of Southern states that never vote Democratic anyway in presidential contests.
Let's make California into Bernie country.
California = Bernie country.
I understand there was a march in Pasadena Saturday. Let's do marches every week.
