Related: About this forumHuffPost: Bernie Sanders Could Still Win the Democratic Nomination — No, Seriously
Last night on CNN, while discussing Bernie Sanders landslide victory over Hillary Clinton in West Virginia which followed a 5-point Sanders win in Indiana last week Michael Smerconish said that Democratic super-delegates might have to rethink their support of Hillary Clinton given how dramatically better Sanders fares in head-to-head match-ups against Donald Trump.
After Clintons Indiana loss, John King had told CNN viewers that if Sanders were to win nine out of ten of the remaining contests, theres no doubt that some of the super-delegates would panic. Theres no doubt some of them would switch to Sanders. What he has to do is win the bulk of the remaining contests. Would that send jitters, if not panic, through the Democratic Party? Yes. Yes it would.
So what gives? Isnt this thing over?
Almost, but not quite.
What Smerconish (and Wolf Blitzer) were discussing last night, and John King was discussing last week, is a very simple theory call it run-the-table which is easy enough to understand if you simply know the history of Democratic super-delegates and whats happened in the 2016 Democratic primary since Super Tuesday.

Votes don't matter. Open primary only registered democrat. Give us your children. Greed is good. You can't buy her. No such thing as quid pro quo.
The prosecution fairy is not going to help you. You want unicorns and ponies. A vast mean and cruel ring wing conspiracy told me so. That other guy is several years older. Give up now. Tear up your ballot stop voting now. Step on a crack and break your mother's back. Millennials suck. Math Math You're banned. Warning Will Robinson. Dave what are you doing?
.........Sorry I must have been sleep walking. It must have been a bad dream or was it just insomnia?

HRC: "Revenge."
