So then, are you saying a super-delegate vote does not count for the same as a regular delegate vote when it comes to winning the nomination? Is that what you're saying? Easy question. 1st grade math easy.

Never mind all of the mumbo jumbo posturing crap. Just answer that very simple question. Do you disagree with this statement:

Delegate = 1 vote
Super-delegate = 1 vote

I'm asking because I'm legitimately curious and Google searches didn't help. Aren't super delegates the votes that haven't been strictly decided yet? I was under the assumption that a super delegate can change their vote based on where they want their vote to go at any time and it only matters where the vote is at the end. I know that the delegate votes are set in stone (I think) but what differs from a delegate and a super delegate?

A regular delegate is earned based on how the people of each state vote. A super-delegate is free to vote for any candidate at the Democratic national convention. A pledged super-delegate is someone who has basically aligned with a candidate and it's almost unheard of for them to change their mind after the presidential candidate is selected since they want their party to win the presidency.

The reason why Hillary is trouncing Bernie with the super-delegate vote is that although Bernie has some great and radical ideas, the super-delegates - who have experience with how Washington works - know that he'd have an extremely hard time getting anything through congress. If you think congress was hard on Obama, they'd stonewall Bernie much much worse.

Clinton on the other hand knows how to work both sides of the aisle and stands a much better chance of furthering a more traditional Democratic platform while in office.

IMO of course.

Not true. Hillary hasn't won yet even though the media says so. Super delegates don't count toward the final count yet.
