A Hillary supporter once said that the superdelegates were created to avoid another 1972, where the Democratic nominee lost 49 states. However, that argument is fatally flawed. The first election with the superdelegates was 1984. Establishment candidate Mondale had a commanding lead in the superdelegates in his close primary with Hart. And he went on to lose 49 states.
