You should never, ever underestimate the ability of a Clinton to lie, cleat and steal!

"Superdelegates help Clinton expand her lead despite NH loss," reads the headline of a piece that moved across the Associated Press wire on Thursday.
Despite losing New Hampshire by 22 points to Bernie Sanders, the story notes, Hillary Clinton has actually widened her delegate lead over the senator from Vermont -- winning 87 superdelegates since Feb. 9 to Sanders's 11. Overall, according to the AP's count, Clinton has a 481-to-55 delegate edge, even though among delegates allocated by the first two votes in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders leads 36 to 32.

That Clinton is winning the lion's share of these folks should come as no surprise. She is the unquestioned establishment candidate in the race. Always has been. Always will be. I wouldn't be surprised if she wins 90 percent (or more) of the available superdelegates. But, the idea -- being forwarded quietly by some Clinton allies -- that her strength among superdelegates makes it impossible for Sanders to be the nominee simply doesn't hold water.

But, let's say it happens that among delegates allocated by actual votes Sanders and Clinton are neck and neck at the end of primary season. I don't think at that point that Clinton's massive superdelegate margin will matter for much of anything. Can you imagine the message the Democratic Party would be sending if it puts down the challenge of a liberal outsider via elected officials and other graybeards of the party?

“Can you imagine the message the Democratic Party would be sending if it puts down the challenge of a liberal outsider via elected officials and other graybeards of the party?”
Yeah, I can! It’s similar to what the GOPe is trying to do do Trump and Cruz!
On the contrary, it will matter for everything, which is why she's bothering to stay in after getting trounced by 22 points in NH. The message is "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE VOTERS THINK!" Got it?
The convention could be real fun.
It will be fun to watch all of these millenials react to the corruption that is all things Clinton.
This is one big reason to nominate Trump. Americans need real choice.
Ah, the sound of the scales falling off young eyes and hitting the cold, hard floor... The sound of futile rage, of disappointed expectations, of youthful enthusiasm dashed on the rocks of disillusionment.
Kinda makes you want to giggle, doesn't it?
Yes. Giggle loud. Giggle long. Gotta love reality.
I think there should be another national holiday called I TOLD YOU SO DAY.
It would give many a voice otherwise unheard.
Remember, Bernies base is the Occupy Stinkers and their minions.
They may just take beat Debbie Wasserman Shultz with an ugly stick
oh...wait
I agree. even less (far less) D’s want her today than wanted her in 2008.... and you remember what happened then?
Yes it will. And she's going to steal it, too, right in front of their eyes.
Trump will pick up 20 million revenge votes overnight. I think that's why he's already playing towards the middle, to help the snowflakes justify their rage when the time comes.
Rigged voting machines will protect her.
I don’t know... her campaign is taking on some serious water and the pumps aren’t keeping up with it. I think she capsizes in a month. She looks sick.
She is not sick enough. She is still vertical and above the grass.
I want people to remember the 2016 Philadelphia convention riots like they remember Chicago 1968.
1968 Dem Convention redux.
