    No, 1/3 of the delegates are super delegates and so far over half of them have committed to Clinton. That's fact not bs. It's hard to win a race when the other gal starts out 1/3 off the way down the track.

    Also she WON more delegates in NH than Sanders. That's a rigged system.

    And if Sanders wins the popular vote, they'll switch to him.

    Superdelegates can and will switch their vote if one candidate is a clear winner. We *just* went through this in 2008.

    But yes, they exist as a check on popular votes to prevent the party from being hijacked by a Trump figure.

    Per AP, your next President will not be Carly Fiorina. Plan accordingly.

    Your theory is the sd's went against the will of the voters in their state when it was a landslide.but they will vote with the will of voters in other states if Sanders has a narrow lead? I doubt that.

    The SD's haven't yet cast any votes and, thus, haven't gone against anyone's will.

    If Sanders keeps winning, and by that I mean well into March, superdelegates will start switching. A Superdelegate pledged to support Clinton is Gov. Hassan of New Hampshire. She's running for Senate in a close race and can't afford to alienate too many of those Sanders voters. She'd be an early tell if it starts to happen.

    So getting more people to vote for you than other candidates is a hijacking?
