My Democrtic Senator is a Super delegate committed to Hillary

and he is getting hell from many who claim that, since our wildly disorganized caucuses (are the any others?) voted for Sanders, he should, too.

So I found his other webpage - not the senate one - and asked him to stick by his decision to support... the Democrat.

I think they need all the support that we can offer.

I have heard half a dozen different plans from the sanders people on how the superdelegates should swing. First it was the PD winner, then the popular vote winner, then the winner of the state the represent, etc ect ect. Any time Sanders loses with that plan, it moves on to something else. I remember Clinton doing the same thing in 2008: 'If i sweep texas i should be the nominee", then "if i win north carolinia i should be the nominee" then "if i win the popular vote, with michigan and florida included, i should be the nominee".

Every path Sanders has proposed to the nomination, he fails, and they throw out something else. Now it is May poll numbers against trump. The goal posts have moved off the field, outside of the stadium, down the street, and are now in a different town from where they started.
