The "Democratic" party in action. :awe:

By the time we get to the convention the superdelegates will very likely back the candidate with the most pledged delegates. It's been that way ever since dems created the system as it is today.

What do you care, given the chances of you voting democratic are slim to none?

I forgot- any chance to tear down the opposition is there to be exploited, right?

If you don't like the way Dems do things, you'll like Repubs' methods even less should the Donald have the most pledged delegates at that convention. Being a superdelegate is just the way the Party rewards loyalists- they get to go to a big party.

I wonder how many times you are going to repeat this line before you realize that as of this election this is no longer happening.

Are you just ignoring what's going on? How can you keep saying this when all signs currently argue against it, and the DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Autism was recently quoted as saying "Superdelegates Exist to Protect Party Leaders from Grassroots Competition"?

Are you trying to convince the rest of us that Bernie Sanders isn't "Grassroots Competition"? Or are you just willfully missing the obvious?

So what? Debbie doesn't speak for any delegate, only herself. Dems have never been stupid enough to shoot themselves in the foot the way you suggest. If Democrats send more Bernie delegates to the convention than Hillary delegates we'll very likely run Bernie.

I don't think you'll be voting for any Dem anytime RSN, anyway, so you're just spreading the FUD about the opposition with another chicken little dance.

Ignoring most of the gibberish you posted, this last part was curious -

1) What is RSN?
2) Why do you think you know how I will vote?

Yeh, you generally avoid the meat of any reasoned argument, much preferring your own raving conspiracy theories.

RSN = real soon now.

It's obvious that you're no Democrat nor are you sympathetic to Democratic principles & programs. If you're claiming otherwise, lay it out.

Just spell it out, you make yourself seem childish when you use text message acronyms.

I am no fan of ANY establishment politician. I know your brain will likely divide by zero at that due to lack of computational ability, so we'll leave it at that.

So you confirm that you won't be voting Democrat, making all your deep concern about the process merely concern trolling.

Which is what I said in the first place.

Bernie? Bernie's been in office one way or another since 1981 so he's very much an establishment politician in his home State. He's also been in Washington since 1991 & working with Dems the entire time.

The only real outsider in this race is... Trump, apparently your guy if what you said above is really true.

Since the creation of the superdelegate system has there been any other time where a nominee who only joined the Democratic party for the election has gotten this much popular support?

If not this could be an unprecedented situation where past superdelegate trends aren't a good predictor. From what I've read it's actually unusual for superdelegates to change their public endorsements. Hillary had an early large lead in superdelegates when running against Obama, but it shifted because a relatively low percentage of superdelegates announced early support. This time, a much higher than usual percentage have.

The mental special-Olympics you have to go through to sleep at night must be fascinating.

The notion that the Party would go against the express will of the rank & file is scurrilous & an affront to Democrats in general.

It's concern trolling bullshit.

Further evidence to how stunningly blind you are since the very thing you keep suggesting with such absolutes will not happen has already happened.
