Uh, yes. Yes it is.

The DNC specifically allotted that many super-delegates for the express purpose of overriding any possible candidates that the DEM elite dislikes. Again, this is the legacy of George McGovern's campaign, and the DEMs still run with it because it gives them ultimate power.

I'm fine with it. Nobody is forced to vote for a party or run with a particular party. Republicans I might add don't pick there candidate purely by who has the most votes either btw. In fact there was an attempt this year to get Trump into a contested convention.

Fair play!
