Even your darling DNC chair, Washingboard-Shits, says that you shouldn't be counting the superdelegates
as something that means something (even tho she spent years with Shillary courting them with promises,
money and goods). Please, please learn about the process - especially the number of delegates that are
up for grabs on the 7th for example (that would be 694 delegates in case you didn't know).
Oh, and SCOTUS is NOT a 5-4 decision-maker now - didn't you hear?
Also, Clinton is bound to pick someone more to the right than Merrick Garland
(or maybe even pick Garland himself?), so I wouldn't count on a progressive new member of SCOTUS
with Clinton in office (whose tied or under Trump in electability right now - and it's continuing downhill as we write).

As long as 1 Howard Dean vote or 1 Barney Frank vote counts as 1 regular delegate vote than why should it matter?
If they weren't superdelegates they would still be getting courted with patronage promises from Hillary all the same.
The real reason Hillary is winning is because until recently she's been cornered the black vote, which is essential if you want to win the Democratic nomination.
