Why I think the super delegates won't flip to Bernie

[upaloopa]

The main reason is because he says his plans rely on millions of previously disinterested people getting involved in politics.

The turnout in the primaries proves that isn't happening. Bernie's rallies are not driving up voter turnout.


The supers know we have to increase our chances through electing Democrats to office. Hillsry is supporting that. Bernie hasn't shared one cent with other Dems.

He said he is running as a Dem for convenience. He relies on independents for wins.

So the super delegates are about electing Dems to office. Bernie is not. They will not flip to him.

1. Troll bait...

more of the same from the usual suspects...

8. Agreed

2. Because HRC will have the overwhelming lead in popular vote and pledged delegates. nt

3. If he secures more pledged delegates enough supers will vote for him to make him the nominee.

That is really all that needs to be said on the matter.

No, they will not switch if he trails in pledged delegates, they will not follow their state results and they will not follow the popular vote winner.

4. I'm not gonna touch most of that but

If you think any Dem candidate will win with just Dem votes then you just aren't serious.

5. becaues he will graciously concede around June 10th nt

9. I strongly doubt there will be anything gracious about it. More like, we'll get to see what Sanders

looks like when having a tooth pulled.

6. Because you are a dyed in the wool Hillary acolyte.

BTW, several already have.

[CalvinballPro]

10. Let's see the full list then. I'd like to know who this "several" are. Assuming they're real, I mean

[ibegurpard]

7. if he has more delegates going into the convention

And super delegates flip it there will be hell to pay. You can take that to the bank.

11. So they'll deliberately spurn the will of Independents...

... who now constitute a plurality of the general electorate.

Good luck with that strategy!

12. If he wins more pledged delegates he will start getting more supers

That happened with Obama.

The bigger issue is he is far behind in pledged delegates and popular votes. So that should be the main focus.
