Michael Bloomberg Should Have Never Been Allowed to Run This Campaign

In 2016 there were thousands of superdelegates that pledged their support for Hillary Clinton before many primaries took place. The sheer number of superdelegates, which are unelected, outnumbered the pledged delegates by hundreds. That’s what they were arguing against. What’s the point of having primaries if hundreds of unelected party people from different states and counties can just override the results that either already took place and from primaries that hadn’t even happened yet?

Also another thing about him being a party outsider has nothing to do with whether or not people want him as president. In 2016 he had thousands of donors and this election has millions. Obviously people support him so why does the fact that he’s an independent make such a difference? Obviously his policies and views align practically with most democrats in the country- especially considering the results of the primaries that have happened.
