The purpose of superdelegates was to save voters from political suicide, and while they have tended to follow public voting patterns in recent elections, 2016 could be different.

Does Hillary Clinton have a secret weapon in her battle for the Democratic presidential nomination – “superdelegates” already pledged to support her?
Well, yes, yes she does. But in the end, they probably wouldn’t tip the balance in a close race with rival Bernie Sanders.
Superdelegates aren’t delegates with special powers. Their votes don’t count more than normal elected delegates. They won’t wear spandex or any kind of identifying costume at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
What’s relevant is something far more serious than the email issue, and that’s her time at Sec of State where she was running a pay-to-play operation through her Foundation. If this were anyone else, the mainstream media would be all over what is obvious corruption. Yes, the email issue is the most dangerous issue with respect to the Nation’s security, but the seeking of donations from foreign governments who were looking for, and received, favorable treatment from the USA is without doubt political corruption in its most pure form. The Clintons are pure grifters.
