12. The job in theory of the super-delegates is to check and balance the popular vote

in the Democratic party for the good of the party and one would assume nation.

That is why the system was devised.

The super-delegates were never meant to be proportional but to embody collected wisdom.

I became more aware of their role in POTUS 2016.

The Democratic establishment and DNC made a mistake in treating Hillary Clinton as an incumbent and presumptive nominee and having so many super-delegates commit to Clinton prior to Sanders and other Democrats joining the competition form POTUS nominee. This was a grave error and the super-delegate system is for such errors.

I backed into Sanders who has my vote in the California primary but there are a number of Democrats preferable to Hillary Clinton and I would gladly accept a candidate other than the two still competing at a brokered convention.

Sanders is refreshing and appears to support New Deal / Great Society rather than neo-liberal and neo-conservative policies so is my favorite now.

I am all for a reduction of war and empire and corporatism and for social justice and Keynesian economics.

Hillary Clinton does not have the character to be CIC nor POTUS. I believed that strongly in 2008 and ever more so now.

My opinion may not be a majority view but is a substantial and popular opinion.

This clip is all one needs to see regards Clinton's character:
