If the super delegates want to back the nominee that will win in November, Bernie Sanders is very clearly that candidate.
This goes to show that voting for a "political outsider" for president is like voting for a MVP who isn't an athlete. It doesn't make any sense. He's supposed to be against the "establishment", but when he needs help, then he wants their support.

If he magically won, I wouldn't have any problem voting for him in the general election.
I think he's a single issue candidate that isn't ready for the job. I would have voted for O'malley or even one of the GOP governors before Sen. Sanders.
It's a gross oversimplification to paint Sanders as a one-issue candidate.
Overthrowing Citizens United
Single-Payer healthcare system
Abandoning nation-building
Restructuring our energy infrastructure
Ending the War on Drugs
Bringing back Glass-Steagall
Public college finance reform
Sure doesn't seem like a one-issue candidate to me. That makes a great soundbite irrespective of reality. Then again, we're used to seeing Hillary supporters speaking irrespective of reality because at the end of the day, even a one-issue candidate is better than a no-issue one. Her presidency will be Comcastic.
