So to say that Superdelegates must follow the same pattern as the other delegates negates why they exist.
I personally don't think there should be Superdelegates but I don't get to decide that and I certainly don't get to decide that at the end of the race. As long as there are Superdelegates, they should decide by taking all factors into account.
Regarding FL and MI, I think Fl should be seated and not MI. MI's Democratic leaders decided to hold the primary early. Contrarily, Florida's Republican Legislature set the primary date. The DNC shouldn't let Democratic voters in FL be disinfrancised by the Repubicans.
