To the Editor:
The Times’s absurd assertion, based on an A.P. poll, that Hillary Clinton has captured the Democratic nomination on the eve of Tuesday’s important primaries sends a crystal clear message to voters: The voices of superdelegates outweigh the voices of ordinary citizens, and if you do not support the presumptive nominee, you might as well not vote.
Such a message privileges the superdelegate, whose very role is contrary to the ideals of our democracy. To clarify: As of this writing, Hillary Clinton has not secured the nomination. The superdelegates who support her have not voted. These appointed individuals are free to change their minds between now and the Democratic Convention.

Note from KBJ: There was never a chance that Hillary Clinton would not win. The powers that be (including the New York Times) determined eight years ago that she was next in line. I expect Donald Trump to get lots of votes from angry supporters of Bernie Sanders.
