    Stopped watching when they included super delegates in their numbers without disclosing the fact that they included them and those people have not voted yet and can change their votes at any time.

    What makes you think they would change their vote. I haven't seen anything to indicate they will/would.

    They did it in 2008 for one.

    There is a chance that Hillary might be indicted, even if she isn't, the delegates may get gunshy about that fact.

    They may realize that Sanders is a far stronger candidate than Clinton and choose him because he is more likely to win in the general.

    Maybe you should have finished because they do address super delegates later...

    It's amazing what confirmation bias people can engage in when they want to believe something.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Hundreds of delegate would have to change their vote. I'd say its unlikely, especially since Bernie has NO party loyalty.

    You're missing the point.

    Superdelegates are chosen by the party to keep folks like Bernie Sanders from getting the nomination.

    They are representing a private organization. They have no obligation to vote for Bernie.

    Believe me, I understand that. I never said they had an obligation to vote for Bernie, I never even said it was likely that they would. But there are only two reasons to include them in Clinton's current delegate count (without at least giving a caveat or notation of some type), either to purposely mislead people to make it seem like Hillary is inevitable, or because you don't really know what you are talking about.

    It's not really to keep people like Sanders from getting the nomination. Sanders could actually be a viable candidate if Clinton weren't outperforming him. It's to keep people like Donald Trump from getting the nomination. People who stand no chance of being elected, but who will damage the party brand massively.

    When party loyalty is defined as selling out, I'm glad someone doesn't have any. I'll follow a loser who stays true to their beliefs than a winner who doesn't have any.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    I could care less who you're voting for.

    I'm just stating an obvious fact here, and that's that Bernie has a slim to none chance to picking up the democractic nomination. Period.
