Do you understand the part of the process where Mrs. Clinton has received literally millions of more votes than Mr. Sanders? Super delegates are symbolic and have little to nothing to do with why she will be the nominee.

As it stands, Clinton has 1716 and sanders 1433 pledged delegates, which is roughly in line with the 56% of the vote she's won. If anything, sanders is slightly over represented in the delegate count, as he's won 42% of the vote (or thereabouts) and has 46% of delegates. Would we in the US really benefit from having someone who loses the popular vote by several million be the nominee? I don't think we would. Super delegates will only come into play if they switch their support to sanders.
