Related: About this forumNH GOP petitions Dem superdelegates to vote for Bernie.
http://www.wmur.com/politics/state-republican-party-launches-online-petition-supporting-bernie-sanders/37999744MANCHESTER, N.H. The state Republican Party on Monday launched an online petition urging the state Democratic Party's superdelegates to listen to their constituents and support New Hampshire primary winner Bernie Sanders at the partys national convention.
(...)
The NHGOP petition says, Even though we vehemently disagree with Senator Sanders on his radical socialist agenda, we stand with his supporters who want their voices to be heard.
Its time for Governor Hassan, Senator Shaheen and Congresswoman Kuster to listen to their constituents and pledge to cast their votes at the DNC Convention for New Hampshires primary winner Bernie Sanders.
Just in case it's not obvious enough by now that the GOP really, really doesn't want to run against Hillary.

That sucks. Better reform the nominating process to make it more democratic. Otherwise I guess the Dems are going to look corrupt and elitist.

I'm sure the super delegates will support whoever wins the most pledged delegates.
The GOP is just stirring up trouble like they always do.
They are to be ignored.

Well, they're wrong about just about everything, so it's no surprise that they'd be wrong about this, too.

Only malicious. The base is both, but that's a whole other can of worms.

Then the independent voters that gave Sanders the win should be ignored. Democratic voters were about evenly split.
