Were the superdelegates suppose to be quiet? Hell No! [View all]

Of the delegates I could find that were part of last nite's group 13 were from states that had already held their election. Only 2 were in states that had not concluded their election. One in California and one in DC. You would think it would be okay for those 13 delegates to announce their support. But noooo. They should keep it secret and declare Sanders the winner.

Governor Jerry Brown is a superdelegate that endorsed Clinton a week before today's election. Generally the purpose of endorsing is to show support for a candidate. It is what major people do to encourage others to vote for that candidate. They don't complain about state legislators or mayors endorsing other candidates.
