    Do you not remember every media outlet showing all the superdelegates as voting for Clinton even before their votes had been cast making it look like Sanders stood no chance?

      Superdelegates have never once decided a primary, they’ve always gone with the person who got the most regular votes.

        I think you’re missing my point. Reread my comment. The media was reporting all super delegates as voting for Clinton even before any of them voted. Only a few states had voted. So they were showing stats like

        Clinton
        --------------------
        
        Sanders
        --
        

        Making it appear like Sanders had no chance.
