97. Few super delegates will ever switch.

1) They are specifically set up to address the needs of the Party. Not only has Bernie not helped the down-ticket, he has made numerous statements over the years against the Democratic party. Yes, he caucused with them, but he had a lot of negative things to say.

2) Hordes of Bernie supporters have harassed, abused, and threatened numerous super delegates on their social media pages, particularly Facebook from what I can see, and I doubt very much that's going to help motivate these people after they see home addresses being posted and other nefarious behavior.

That super delegate ship has sailed. It won't be coming back. They should have known they could have caught that bee better with honey.
