Because the super delegates are not beholden to the popular vote. Hence thew term "super".....When they created them, yes.you can't say that yet.... unlike Mr.Trump, Mr Sanders has not garnered more votes from the voters than Hillary....like Mr. Trump has.....on the RNC side....It is about time he did that, but it will not work. The Democratic elite want HilIary as much as the Republican elite do not want Trump. Seems both parties have their own agenda and it has nothing to do with what the people want.
The very concept of Super Delegates belies that.
However, the Super delegates since they were created have always moved towards the candidate with the most popular votes..... 2008 was harder than all other years because Obama and Hillary were in a virtual tie nearly the entire primary...
Then please explain how hiLIARy wins the Super Delegates in states where Bernie won the popular vote?
Super is just another way of saying Establishment Incumbents.
