Super Delegates have said they are voting for Hillary regardless of what people want. Is this fair to the people who vote? Is the system rigged? Should we do away with Super Delegates?

The head of the DNC, Debbie Wassermann-Schultz said the following in response to the question with responses from Hell-ary's and Bern-out's campaigns:
"In February of 2016, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee, was asked by CNN's Jake Tapper, "What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it's all rigged?" Schultz's response was, "Superdelegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grass-roots activists." This clarification was hailed by Clinton supporters as a wise policy to maintain steady, experienced governance, and derided by Sanders supporters as the establishment thwarting the will of the people."

Translated: "This system is in place to prevent people who demand to have a voice, from actually having a voice"...I love our political system.

Democrats must love Super delegates, because they keep voting Democrat. Besides, DNC chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz clearly told the world that the super delegates are there to protect the Democrat establishment from YOU... The grass roots. We reap what we sow....

Appreciate all the tutelage but most of what is being said is a repeat of some or all my posts. I HAVE done my research.

Maj Werner Saemmler-Hindrichs - Need some context to answer your question. Current stats I heard today were that in the actually vote count, she was ahead by 300 votes. That is NOT a mandate. Without the fix being in by the DNC, she would be really losing to Bernie.

Maj Werner Saemmler-Hindrichs - Since I am against both, my only point is the hypocrisy in calling it Democratic. Both parties do it, as evidenced by the SDs that are appointed by party elites. It's just more blatant when you review the list of SDs representing the Dems, numbers and individuals.

I don't think anyone should support a woman who fail to follow proper procedures with classified information, lied, and obstruct the investigation by wiping out her hardrive. It is absolutely deplorable for anyone even to consider to support hillary especially when she has blood of four Americans serving and representing our country and boldly lied to their families and to the nation.
