Non dst sucks. I hate early darkness.
DST kills people. Car accidents are up X% the week after daylight savings where X is a value I have not bothered to look up but I know it's positive and very probably double digits. Just say no to changing your clocks twice a year for no good reason.

Yes but then Bernie will say "THEY SHOULD SWITCH!"
I mean wouldn't you want them to switch if you were in Bernie's shoes?

Just make Supers fall proportionally to their state results. Problem solved.

Sure. But you're then subverting the voice of the people. Something superdelegates have never done.

Utah online voting a disaster so far. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ver-online-primary-and-its-not-going-so-well/
This might sound like baseless prejudice, but I don't think there's a single group I'd trust less to successfully implement an online voting program than Utah Republicans.

Then why even have them?

Then you might as well just get rid of them because what's the point?
They were created to prevent a Trump scenario, but as we've seen in this cycle, if you ever actually use them as intended you'll split the party and get fucked anyway.

AZ is in two time zones since not every county recognizes DST. That's why they're holding the results.
Growing up in Indiana we didn't recognize DST until shortly before I moved away. The main way I would notice the time change was that a bunch of TV shows would shift their air times by an hour.
Honestly, I prefer not to have DST. I don't like having to shift my schedule by an hour twice a year.

Well no one has reached true delegate count.
Supers don't really represent the people either. Sure they haven't gone against who has the majority of candidates but that's only to save face... To keep their party together. Interest of the people is second to them.
Anyway. I think in your hypothetical situation for Bernie to argue for more super votes it's perfectly fine.

Supers give the candidates "training" in networking and reaching out within the party. They serve a point.

It's the best day of the year! The sun goes from setting before I even leave the office to after I get home in the space of a single day! It makes me feel like a Time Lord.

That's a pretty weak argument.
Hopefully at this point in a candidates career they have done enough networking in their jobs.
Watch me curr about millenials 2.0DST kills the world by increasing energy consumption.

Yoshi's Wooly World? If so, YASSS WERK! I love that game.
Yes, I'm a little late to the party.
I don't think DST had to do with the AZ release? I think all polls closed an hour ago. But it's not too important.

This isn't that surprising. Obviously, Obama needed the Supers, as did....I want to say Kerry....but I'm not 100% on that.
Mondale needed the supers in 1984, or at least a few of them. He got the vast majority anyways since he was pretty far ahead in pledged delegates and the preferred candidate of most of the party establishment.

If you're not being sarcastic, there have been numerous studies in recent years showing that any energy savings from DST in modern times is negligible at best. Some even point to an increase in energy consumption.DST kills the world by increasing energy consumption.

Yeah. In the UP, the light seeming to 'be there later' is psychologically helpful because the winters are so long and dark.It's the best day of the year! The sun goes from setting before I even leave the office to after I get home in the space of a single day! It makes me feel like a Time Lord.
You guys hate all my faves. Chris Matthews and Steve Schmidt are the best.Steve Schitt now on TV to spew bs

Time for reporters to make a big deal out of Rubio early votes when they are irrelevant and not enough to change the result of the race.

Eh, growing up it was the only thing I knew so it felt normal to me even though I was aware that most of the rest of the country was observing DST.
