(12,448 posts)It's always been interesting that the very people who constantly attack the Democratic Party then demand that the same party give special treatment to their chosen candidate. I could go on (and on), but it would then be alerted on.
The superdelegate system is something that the Republicans WISHED TO GOD THEY HAD HAD in 2016. It would have prevented a Trump nomination. It was set up to prevent an terrible and/or dangerous candidate from ever achieving the party's nomination and to bring some sort of order to the chaos that was the norm at Democratic conventions. It was never intended to override the will of the voters, and in fact never has overridden the will of the MAJORITY of voters. Of course, there's always the minority, some of whom have hurt feelings and need to blame someone--anyone--for their candidate's loss.
