super delegates
The fact is that the supers will pick the nominee unless, in the unlikely event someones concedes. These people can vote however they want. Hillary has some from Obama's states and Obama from Hillary's. These are the rules, now I doubt they would overturn a decisive vote if Obama ends up there, but they might if the pledged delegates and popular votes were split. For sure millions of people are going to be disappointed no matter how it goes, but is disappointment any reason to sell this country short? Not for me.

1. forget about it, Super Delegates will not have to decide
Obama is no longer electable, if the remain states don't vote him out (I think they will) the superdelegates will do what they were set up for originally, deliver the nomination to the electable candidate.

The party is divided and their will not be enough support for a win in the GE.
