Bernie Sanders leads the polls, but Democratic Party superdelegates won’t commit
by Susan Ferrechio
 | February 22, 2020 12:01 AM



Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is narrowly leading a pack of Democrats seeking the presidential nomination, lags in support among critical superdelegates who have mostly remained on the sidelines rather than commit to Sanders or any other candidate thanks to the uncertainty of the race.

Superdelegates will play a pivotal role in deciding the party’s presidential nominee if the top candidate fails to win a majority of a separate set of delegates up for grabs in the primaries and caucuses now underway.

The vast majority of superdelegates remain undecided.

Overall, only about 20% of the 771 superdelegates have picked a candidate, signaling a high level of ambivalence about who will ultimately win the nomination.

“Uncertainty in the candidate field tends to keep most superdelegates on the sidelines,” Joshua Putnam, who runs the delegate tracking site Frontloading HQ, told the Washington Examiner. “And this 2020 race has that.”

Why should they commit to a candidate they were put in place to oppose?

Why should they commit to a candidate who won't even join their party, for crying out loud? He wants their nomination but refuses to join.

A good point.   No...a GREAT point!

I believe Bernie registered as a Democrat sometime last year.  I should think he would have to since he's running as a Democrat.

That's true, according to Wiki.

Bernard Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is an American politician who has served as the junior United States Senator from Vermont since 2007 and has been a member of the Democratic Party since 2019, and previously from 2015 to 2016. The U.S. Representative for the state's at-large congressional district from 1991 to 2007, Sanders is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history.[a] He ran unsuccessfully for the 2016 Democratic nomination for president and is running again in 2020.

Interesting he was only a "Democrat" in years divisible by 4 and the previous year.

Bernie's smart enough to know that if he wants to run for president, he needs the Democrat party behind him.  There is just about no chance of winning without party backing.

If they take this away from Bernie for a second time, whomever the candidate is that takes his place is doomed.
Also, it will affect local, State, and Congressional seats as well.

Let us hope that Trump faces a deeply divided party in the dem-socialists.

And further that said dem division impedes their down ticket efforts.

Bernie joined "the party" a long time ago.
You know which one that really is.

Just a reminder that Bernie's base values violence as legitimate public protest and a passionate supporter has already attempted a public assassination of multiple Republican elected leaders.
