We've been over this. Almost zero superdelegates switched from Hillary to Obama before he had the majority of the pledged delegates. The same will be true now, but with Hillary on track for the majority, no more will switch. They don't switch.
Additionally, I'd like to note that once she reaches that majority of pledged delegates, Sanders' own claims and logic would lead to the conclusion that she is the presumptive nominee.
Because superdelegates don't switch, then the race is over - she is the presumptive nominee - after the June 7th primaries. She will, in no uncertain terms, get the 257 delegates she needs to reach the majority for pledged delegates, 2,026. There are 761 delegates available between the two primaries on the 4th and 5th and the six on the 7th; therefore, she needs just 33.77% on average in those eight contests to clinch the nomination.
It is
over on June 7th, whether a ballot is cast at a convention or not.
And on June 11th, the Summer Fellows start work in Iowa and other states for the presumptive nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
