2. SuperDELEGATES...where did they come up with that

Well I'll be darned

I guess they got the pledges wrong

[lovuian]

3. so how do you become a super delegate

Did CNN know who they were and call them up

and boy were they wrong way way off

did the superdelegates lie

or was this CNN BS poll

they need to be called on this false reporting

5. A super delegate is every democratic congress person.

I think.

8. Among others.

6. They're appointed by the state Democratic parties. They have nothing to do with the caucusing.

4. I think CNN is choosing their favorites, that's all. nt

7. No. Most superdelegates support Hillary.

10. So superdelegates are centrist or right wing? Scary if so! nt
