Superdelegates have never been used - and I do not believe they will ever be used - to give the victory to one candidate when another has the majority of elected delegates. I wouldn't worry about it until it does happen - I strongly doubt it will this year.

Superdelegates make it easier to mediate when there are three or more candidates viable in a convention, none of whom have a majority of elected delegates. They make it less plausible for Stop X movements to pull off some shenanigans at a convention. They generally make it easier to have an orderly convention. Those are genuinely useful things to have.

Always a wise action to take. o_O

So, since in this case there are only two viable candidates on the Democratic side, are superdelegates gonna be useful this election?

No, I don't think so.

You're right. They're just going to be harmful. Because this massive lead Hillary has? She wouldn't have it if super delegates weren't in the picture. She'd still be leading, but not by a nearly insurmountable amount.

So how are they harmful? Hillary is leading because she has the most elected delegates, and is demonstrably the choice of the majority of the Democratic Party. Superdelegates don't even enter into it.

What part of " She'd still be leading, but not by a nearly insurmountable amount," don't you understand? There are still races to go, you know.

And if Bernie wins the majority of elected delegates as a result of those races, I think he will get the nomination.

I don't think it's a likely event that he'll get those delegates. But let the evil be sufficient unto the day here, before we get worried about the superdelegates stealing an election from Bernie that he's currently losing.
