Bernie can beat Trump. Secretary Clinton can't. That will become obvious before the convention.

And Trump has barely started his propaganda campaign against Secretary Clinton.

We'll see how Secretary Clinton does against Trump in the polls just before the Democratic Party convention.

If the polls indicate Clinton is being badly beaten by Trump how can she hold super delegates?

Over 400 super delegates expressed their support for Clinton in 2015 BEFORE Bernie Sanders even announced his intention to run for the nomination!

And over 150 super delegates have not yet indicated their preference for the nomination!

They will abandon her just like several hundred did at the 2008 convention.

The outcome, whether Trump or Hillary, will be much the same for them. Sanders would upset their applecarts.

punish the party establishment for "letting" Sanders get this far, and someone who can attract indies and has actual favorability ratings and won't take revenge because he's not a Kissingerite

But Bernie isn't going to be the nominee lol.

Bernie would have been the nominee if he had won the primaries and gotten the most delegates.
Except Bernie didn't do that.
He lost.
