She won enough regular delegates to win.
All candidates should be helping down ballot races this year, especially since their are so few. (And especially in Virginia.)
Not according to the newest CNN poll.
You mean the CNN poll that didn't even have a statistically significant sample size of people under 65, or with an income below 50k? Political polling is becoming more and more irrelevant as people don't have land lines and don't answer calls from unknown numbers.

Yeah, I seem to remember that. But who decides who gets to be a super delegate?
Sure thing. Like the DNC even had the power to do that if it wanted to. Not surprised you buy that nonsense.
Link? Most polls aren't going to have a strong enough sample of subgroups.
And yet CNN scores an A- on 538. I tend to give more credence to 538 than berniebro conspiracy theories.
Haha bkf jrDuuude seriously? The last Dem primary was a coronation, not an election. With DWS as master of ceremonies. I have no idea how anybody with half a brain couldn't see that.
Nate silver doesn't make any poll. But he rates polling and cnn/ssrs has been extremely accurate. And if you look other places in there it only shows the statistically non-significant group as being between 50 and 65. The idea that they would do a national poll of only elderly people doesn't even make sense. This is also the case with the under $50,000 incomeYou're an idiot - you trusting Nate Silver can't make a political poll represent voters that didn't participate in the poll.

Aren’t the super delegates people that are elected public officials in each state that are Democrats?...like Mayors and state senators and even congresspeople?
In theory, superdelegates are actually a good idea. They help keep the party steady over time and help prevent candidates from outside the parties core values from orchestrating a populist take over of the party...GOP, and all of us, could have really benefited from a couple thousand superdelegates in 2016.
Not necessarily elected officials. Just party movers and shakers.

The democrats invented super delegates to keep George McGovern from happening again. It’s all about who the DNC thinks is most electable. And in 2016, the DNC clearly didn’t believe that was Bernie.
