2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie 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.

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.
