...while Hillary only has 8.
It's because they know full well that Hillary can't win! I mean, look at her corruption, her scandals, her total lack of appeal to young people! And look at the matchup polls! Do you really think the superdelegates are going to support someone so unelectable?
Hillary fans can complain all day long, but the superdelegate system is legitimate and trustworthy, whether they like it or not. They're just angry because they know the winds are blowing against Hillary, and they're nervous.
Bernie has hundreds of superdelegates because he's going to win, and the DNC knows it, and they're #FeelingTheBern.
