"Super delegates exist to prevent a deadlock."

I think they exist so that the party gets in who they want

"I misspoke. What I meant by that is..."

Couldn't resist the opportunity to poke fun at Hillary's B.S. line for every time she does something stupid.

It's both. It was a detail addressed in the video I posted. But I was placing emphasis on that they will do what's good for the party. If you read the "Math" article I posted, the end describes the horde of Bernie supporters that will be chanting "Bernie!! Bernie!! Bernie!!" outside possibly by the tens of thousands. KVR made the next point for me...

if shillary is at 2026 all the super delegates will go behind her to push her over the edge, if Bernie is at 2026 and they still do then expect all hell to break loose

The fact is, no matter what the count is, the author of the article is likely correct about the horde of people that will be rallied in Philadelphia. That's a lot of pressure. Add to that Hillary being under investigation by the FBI over the email scandal. If you or I were being investigated by the FBI, much less by an entire team for the past year for breaches of national security and mishandling of Top Secret documents we would certainly expect to find ourselves in jail. Hillary may be powerful, but she is not above the law. The FBI could not and would not have made this investigation without it being serious. They would loose credibility as an organization to not press charges. But they must also be careful because they cannot pursue this without a risk of backlash if they fail to build an ironclad case against her. I'm not even going to pretend to take credit for the points in the FBI argument. I'm simply parroting from people more qualified than I am. But I happen to be in agreement. I've been fighting an uphill battle trying to find decent sources of news and opinion which were not talking heads for Hillary.

I really don't know what happened to the news. Even National Public Radio (NPR) has been partaking of the Hillary Koolaid which I cannot wrap my head around. The closest I've been able to come has been a handful of pro Sanders writers. To my great frustration, I've not managed to find any unbiased sources. Everyone seems to be polarized in one direction or another. The distinction I've found with the pro Sanders writers is that if I filter out the bias, they are swimming against the current on the strength of their facts and opinion managing to not be swept up in the chatter.

Even Sanders himself has made slips of falling for some of the chatter. People want Sanders to run as an Independent as a contingency if he does not win the Democratic nomination. He's said that he won't be a "spoiler" as if he was going to be another Nader. But Nader never had this many people behind him. Sanders wants to restore and revitalize the Democratic party, but DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has said she wants to completely eliminate voters and just choose the president internally. The perverse thinking of that admission in my opinion applies to too many people in government. People have talked about getting rid of Schultz, but frankly she is that out of touch because that is the environment that she is surrounded by. As far as I'm concerned, it's officially time to abolish the Democratic party entirely, not only for the good of the nation, but as a statement for future generations that the U.S. is a Republic "By the people, and for the people".
