The other dirty little secret is that the GOP also has its set of elites. The GOP calls them uncommitted delegates, rather than Superdelegates, but their function is essentially the same.

The Dem Superdelegates represent about 27% of the number a Dem candidate needs for the Dem nomination.

The GOP uncommitted delegates represent about 19.5% of the number a GOP candidate needs for the GOP nomination.

The numbers don’t tell the whole story, though.

Due to the rules of the respective conventions, the Demodog superdelegates are far more influential than those of the GOP.
