[quote=Anonymous]The point of the superdelegates is specifically to give the party some control to overturn the primary voters' selection if they believe that candidate would hurt the party's chances in November. An indictment of Clinton would likely flip the superdelegates against her, but it seems highly, highly unlikely that she will be indicted. Since the superdelegates were introduced, I don't believe there has been a single election where the superdelegates overturned the will of the primary voters. Sanders seems to be arguing they should do that on the basis of his being more electable than Clinton. I don't think that's a particularly winning argument coming from someone who wasn't even able to win a majority of the primary votes and whose primary voters, based on exit polling, skew more liberal than Clinton's across the board. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-sanders-does-better-with-independents/ People keep using the above to suggest Sanders will win over independents, but if you read the analysis it suggests he does better with people who lean further left (which does not describe the majority of the US whatever people may say).
