To be honest tho Bill Clinton gave his super delegate to Obama because he won, Bill Clinton prior to New York said he will give his super delegate to Sanders if he won New York so is Bill Clinton implying that Super Delegates go to winner of the states? Because Sanders won Wyoming, Wisconsin,and now Indiana and Hillary left all those states with more delegates  if Hillary knows those are the rules of the game she should speak up and be fair

Um? 
I couldn't care less about what goes on at the right side of the spectrum, they can battle out who's best prepared to deny human rights to various groups, cut healthcare to half the population, deny women's rights to choose and to seek safe abortion care, initiate on-ground wars in the Middle East and demean undocumented immigrant, all that while we're discussing whether making college tuition-free or debt-free is the better plan, whether we should move to renewable energy with our without the existence of fracking, whether gun control should include suing manufacturers or not, whether the federal minimum wage should be $12 or $15 an hour, etc.
The political left is killing it (as it always has) and a Democrat is on their path to the oval office at the speed of Quicksilver from X-Men. So to put it in better context, I couldn't have been happier.

Bill did give it to Obama in 2008. And Bill, prior to New York, said he'd give it to Sanders if he won in the pledged count, not in New York

Guuuuuurl have you read my sig? 
All I was saying the other day is that Cruz is better and more qualified than Trump to be president; I am indeed as far to the left as it gets!

This literally makes no sense... and the Democrats don't have a nominee yet

I refuse to vote for someone that's for fracking and the death penalty for example, regardless of party affiliation.

If they are smart, then they won't assume and will make a concerted effort to attract Bernie's supporters. Either with platform changes, party rule changes (open primaries, no super delegates), or a progressive VP, preferably all three. But to assume Hillary/DNC will adopt Bernie's whole platform is 1) unfair to the voters who pick Hillary's platform over Bernies, and 2) not really realistic.
Also, would you really trust Hillary if she suddenly adopted his entire platform? I mean I know we are fighting for the future, and neither of them likely to get **** done regardless, but still...

But that one person didn't decide the election. You can't point to one person after the election and say "This is YOUR fault" because they voted a certain way or didn't vote. That's not fair, and you're ignoring larger issues at hand.

I have always read Super Delegates are controversial and now I see why This is the 2nd consecutive democratic primary in which there has been issues with Super Delegates, they need to get rid of them

And this makes no sense either. People are willingly donating to him. HE is not wasting anyone's money. They're the one giving it to him in the first place, and they can if they want to.
Hillary is asking for donations from working class people and she has super PACs, lobbyists, and more behind her. She should stop stealing from working class people, right?
