You should check facts before posting.

There are 123 uncommitted delegates that come directly from the Republican National Committee. Perhaps they don't use the word 'superdelegate' but that is certainly what they are.

No, there are not. You are either lying or wrong.

123 delegates from the RINO elite? Now that is scary.

How did that happen and how can we stop it?

That is different from the superdelegates on the dem side (where they are actually called superdelegates). Superdelegates vote in the convention and are not beholden to the states' primaries. Republican alternate delegates are mostly there as a perk for working in their local party, allowing them to go to the convention and party as much as they want. If the regular delegate is unable to perform her/his duty, the alternate steps in.
