If you're not a fan of Superdelegates, you must really be upset with the Sanders' campaign for choosing Tad Devine as their top adviser. Devine was "instrumental in the creation of the superdelegate process," and is one of its ardent defenders.

I don't believe anyone in the Sanders Campaign is serious anymore about actually cinching the nomination. They were certainly after the initial results were promising, but Bernie got further than he expected. Now since flipping the super delegates is their only legal and conceivable way to win, and they need to appear to win to continue, it's their stated strategy. It seems to me like the main goal is to continue in the Media spotlight talking about progressive issues, and funnel money into more progressive candidates to change the face of the party. People like Tim Canova in Florida going after establishment democratic seats. I think it's an excellent strategy and will make use of the following Bernie has gathered to actually affect domestic change where change is most needed in the legislative branch.
