Atticus

The main person with blinders on is you. You claim to be independent however only repeat talking points for the right. You distrust the media and how they're so 'establishment' yet then run here and post every anti-Democrat article you can. Then when called out on it usually being false or misleading you switch gears and blame the media and call out both parties.

In regards to your initial post.

- Iowa allows for a coin toss in rare circumstances where a precinct ends in a tie.
- The Des Moines Register reported that there were 6 coin flips and Clinton won all 6. However they have since updated that article and in actuality there were 7 coin flips and Sanders won 6 of them. A subsequent editorial has requested an audit.
- Those 7 'coin flips' do not turn into delegates for either candidate. They instead factor into the allotment formula Iowa uses to issue the actual delegates.

On to the Superdelegates which you clearly do not understand.

- Superdelegates are nothing new. They have been around since the 80's and were set up so the Establishment has more of a say in the process. They are made up of former Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Governors, Congress, Mayors, etc.
- Of course Superdelegates are going to support Clinton over Sanders. Sanders was an Independent just a couple of years ago. Likewise Clinton also had a 3-1 pledged super delegate advantage over Obama in 2008.
- Only 15% of the total delegates available are Superdelegates.
- Superdelegates are only pledged to a candidate. They've either been asked or publicly stated who they will vote for. They can change and often do.
- They change because they follow the popular vote in the end. There is zero chance Sanders wins the popular vote and these Superdelegates give Clinton the win.

So that is why the 'mainstream media' is not reporting on 'the backroom bullshit'. Because they actually have an understanding of how it works and realize its beyond transparent.
