Well, I Was Wrong about Super Delegates
A couple of years ago, in response to suggestions that the Democratic Party should get rid of super-delegates in their Presidential nominating process, I argued that the Trump election was going to lead to just the opposite response from party officials: not only would the Dems not eliminate the practice, but I thought the Republicans would want to add super-delegates to give party insiders a way to combat populist candidates like Trump. Well, I was at least half wrong, as the Dems have apparently substantially reduced the power of super delegates.
