during Super Tuesday, the entire CNN panel had a discussion about including the Superdelegates into the official totals.

John King and the rest of the talking heads mutually agreed that the Democratic party said that they were not going to do that because it caused such an uproar. They also added that there was no reason to do that, because it was confusing--and they added that the SDs vote at the end.

I think the Clinton camp has totally thrown down the gauntlet to the media.

The media is now, in concert, reporting the official Democratic results, thus far, by including SDs.

I guess what Queen Hillary wants, Queen Hillary gets.

They can try whatever tricks they want. Bernie is in it until the convention. We will keep donating. We don't get our news from the MSM.

Hillary did this in 08, through the primary season. She likes to use the Superdelegates as a weapon. They vote at the end, dipshit.

If you win the most pledged delegates, you get the Superdelegates. If you don't win the most pledged delegates, you don't get the Superdelegates. It's called democracy.

Hillary could save the Republicans a lot of problems.

Never have I seen a Cooperate media so in the tank for a candidate as they are Hillary...But then it took her 8 years to drum up
all this corporate support and one would have to give her she has done a great job from Wall St. maxed out personal contributions to huge Contributions to her Super Pacs from the side of the Corporate World that is usually reserved for Republicans. its going to take Hillary ( if GFB she nominated) a hell-of-long-time to make all those pay backs.

Her GoldmanSachs connections (Lloyd Blankfein ) with her speaking fees plus their contributions may never be matched again by a Democrat or a Republicans for that matter.

So they will keep throwing in all their little tid-bits but remember their scripts are coming from the Clinton campaign and all those Karl Rove Tacticians.
