The Clintonistas would just find another way to exact their dirty pool.

Nope. This is not right. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

If the Superdelegates go away, the quota rules wind up determining the candidate. This is bad for Slow Joe or any other white male. 51% females and 25% black representation who subsist on identity politics will make things very difficult.

Reminder:

Hillary Clinton: 16,914,722 (55.2%)
Bernie Sanders: 13,206,428 (43.1%)

The super delegates were the only reason Bernie Sanders had any late hope at all. All his supporters kept crossing their fingers for a Clinton indictment, which they hoped would cause the super delegates to dump her for Sanders. It's they who wanted the super delegates to veto the will of the Democratic Party primary electorate and install Sanders as the nominee (i.e., have the super delegates "steal" it).

The nonsense about super delegates also ignores the fact that Sanders got way more help from caucus states than Clinton got from super delegates. Consider this: Sanders won the state of Washington's caucus in March 2016, when fewer than 30,000 people voted, but Clinton won Washington's primary two months later in May, when over 700,000 Democrats participated. Sanders received 74 WA delegates vs. Clinton's 27 because of the whole caucus thing.

Ultimately, you look at the map, Clinton won California, won Texas, won New York, won Florida, won Illinois (all by big margins)... seriously, what was the biggest state Sanders won? Michigan, where he just squeaked by? Everything else was crap like the North Dakota caucus, wherein Sanders won with literally 250 votes.

Sorry, I have no love for Clinton, but the Bernie Bots crying about "stolen primary" is absolutely, 100% grade-A horse crap.

This sounds like the same arguments the left made after 1968. That gave them McGovern and the worst defeat the Democratic party has ever had in 1972. The superdelegate system was created after that fiasco in order to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Clintons are being forced out.
She now has zero chance and her political future is over.

Hey DNC, why don't you allow Motor-Voter in your convention?

(And are at least 12% of your delegates...black? Including in CA?
And are 8% of your delegates Hispanic? Including in Vemont?
And do you have sufficient Native American women voting, including Somerville/Cambridge, MA?)

RAAAAAAA-CIS.

Thank God Sanders got rigged out of the nomination. He would have probably beaten Trump and America would be Venezuela right now.
