I'm sick of all the Beltway Insider super delegate BS. Those "supers" will start to peel away ...

and Clinton is a loser. The MSM assumption is that Clinton has them locked up - IMO, that's more insider BS.

As soon as they finally figure out that the people are taking control of the party rather than
the usual other way around, they will do the right thing.

at least according to Wikipedia. It seems to me that if a SD was going to choose HRC, they would have already done it. And how many of those who chose Clinton before a single primary did so based on an idea that Sanders had no chance of winning? Now that it's not the coronation they were expecting, some are inevitably going to support Bernie at the convention.
