The danger for the "super delegates" is "Throw the Bums Out!"

There is a STRONG anti-establishment anger right now, and if the chosen two are Hillary and Trump (the two most DISLIKED politicians in the country), I don't need a crystal ball to see total rebellion in the ranks.

Of course, it isn't who votes that counts, but "who counts the votes" so the most confident candidate is going to be fighting to get every voter problem found in the primaries cleaned up before the general.

Naturally this doesn't apply to the lobbyists. Not sure how lobbyists become super delegates, but I'm sure the standards are prominently posted somewhere, right?
