Superdelegates are people too

Let’s stop this nonsense about Washington’s “superdelegates” switching their allegiances to Bernie. The Democrat caucus doesn’t represent “the will of the people.”

Caucuses represent the will of those enthusiastic enough to take the time, and suffer the aggravation of a mob meeting.

Superdelegates are charged with voting their judgment about who will be the most electable candidate and the most effective president. They vote (or should) based on experience and political savvy, not on naked passion.

None of them demanded that you vote for Hillary. They let us make our own decisions (though the vast majority of us didn’t vote at all). At least give them the same courtesy. Whatever way they go, let them be themselves, not your pawns.
