Doesn't fly? MrMickeysMom Apr 2016 #6

I don't see the superdelegates going against the majority unless there's a winter is coming Apr 2016 #8

I don't think so either, but realmirage Apr 2016 #16

So you think if Bernie has more pledged delegates going into the convention he should win? BernieforPres2016 Apr 2016 #10
