Yes, precisely the reason Obama said he would have been reelected if allowed to run... and he would have using his tried and true strategies.	InAbLuEsTaTe	Dec 2016	#32

So you keep saying but there was a difficult primary for a reason	aikoaiko	Dec 2016	#35
The primary was essentially over by mid-March and arguably after Super Tuesday.	Garrett78	Dec 2016	#37
Arguably what made it over in March was the hastily declared superdelegate votes...	aikoaiko	Dec 2016	#41
I don't think the superdelegates had much, if any, bearing on the results.	Garrett78	Dec 2016	#43
I don't think so at all. The superdelegate count was touted constantly by her surrogates and minions	aikoaiko	Dec 2016	#44
Even if it was touted as much as you claim, and I don't think it was...	Garrett78	Dec 2016	#47
It's not hard to look up...	TCJ70	Dec 2016	#59
"Superdelegate touting" could fall under "media complicity" in Nance's OP. n/t	intheflow	Dec 2016	#48
And yet, we were beaten about the head and neck with the 'results' and the 'insurmountable lead'	AtheistCrusader	Dec 2016	#82
The insurmountable lead had nothing to do with superdelegates.	Garrett78	Dec 2016	#84
Historically incorrect.	AtheistCrusader	Dec 2016	#86
No, it isn't. You can dig up my posts and the posts of many others making that very point.	Garrett78	Dec 2016	#89
