And now the other party proles are clamoring to remove the super delegates! The only remaining control the DNC had on choosing suitable candidates. And not runaway self-funded demagogues. See how well it worked for the GOP.

To be fair, even without that control mechanism, the DNC arguably is less vulnerable than the GOP. While both parties have state-to-state variation in how delegates are selected, the DNC uses basically proportional allocation in every state, whereas the GOP uses heavily disproportional mechanisms in most states (to the extreme of winner-take-all in some), which allows an early plurality in a crowded field to turn into commanding delegate lead (this seems to be by intent; its expected that connected insiders will have an early advantage, and this setup is would then get the primary competition over quickly and give the party more time to focus on the general election -- but its also easy to see how, with widespread dissatisfaction with party elites and an outsider candidate with strong name recognition and the ability to score early free media, it can backfire.)
