Related: About this forumTakai Says He’s Sticking With Clinton — For Now
"Hawaii has nine superdelegates, which include state Democratic Party leaders, Gov. David Ige and the four-member congressional delegation. Ige has not made his presidential preference clear yet. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard supports Sanders, and U.S. Sens. Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono are backing Clinton.
Takai decided earlier this year that he would be supporting Clinton, and said Monday that he continues to feel shes the best candidate for president.
***But he left the door open.***
The national convention is not until the end of July. Never say never, Takai told Civil Beats editorial board during an hourlong interview.
The national convention is not until the end of July. Never say never. Congressman Mark Takai
When asked what statement Sanders lopsided win had on the Democratic establishment in Hawaii who largely supported Clinton, Takai said there was a lot of excitement at the precincts Saturday but that the number of people who participated in the presidential preference poll only amounts to about 3 percent of the voting public. There were 33,716 ballots cast."

It looks like cracks are forming! If your state went for Bernie. Call the elected superdelegates and let them know how you feel.
