What will happen in actuality, because of superdelegates clinton really has no chance of losing the primary. The demographic that votes the least, 18-25, will be split into two camps. Those who are anti-establishment (aka trump) and those who want nothing except for team blue to win (hillary). This article is just pandering for clicks from team red. Yes the system is rigged on blue team, so unless some miricle happens nothing is changing. I know the 25+ older crowd on blue team is way more for hillary. 25+ year olds are not going to take 25- year olds seriously. They'll see the protests as kids "just not getting it".

Except... except... people said the same thing in 2008. She can't lose, she's got the superdelegates. Superdelegates all changed their minds. And they could again if her poll numbers keep sliding or the FBI indicts.
My guess is that the Clintons have dirt on a lot of people. They're too cynical to leave stuff like this to actual public opinion.

First off 2008 had two people donor funded. Hillary was more right leaning and that was the killer for her because everyone was in anti bush mode. The real killer this year is the rich on the left only have one choice. All the donors for obama are donors for hillary. She has the big money on her side. Thats where the superdelegates are staying. I would be surprised and will find your comment and personally apologize if bernie has more superdelegates at the end of the primaries.
