…all this bluster only serves to demonstrate a lack of understanding of who the super delegates are and why the chance of them switching from Clinton to Sanders is less likely than Knicks president Phil Jackson abandoning the triangle offense.

…It was a failsafe strategy designed to ensure the nomination of electable candidates; to prevent a candidate precisely like like Bernie Sanders—an independent, socialist outsider who’s not part of the Democratic machine—from winning the nomination.

The real rub here is that Sanders himself knows all this. Yet he continues to fan the flames of anger and resentment, amping up his rhetoric of a “rigged system” where super delegates either don’t count and/or will magically propel him into the Oval Office despite there being absolutely no logical or historic basis for them to switch allegiance. It’s time that he share this reality with his supporters.

Who the Super Delegates Are and Why They Will Not Switch to Sanders

Yup.
