At least 63 of 712 superdelegates were registered at some point as lobbyists on the state or federal level, according to an analysisconducted this year by the nonpartisan, nonprofit Sunlight Foundation.
These individuals represented interests that span across big banks, healthcare insurers, the telecommunications industry and unions, including Goldman Sachs and Planned Parenthood.
The list includes former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, who is currently registered for the healthcare insurance company Aetna, former House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, a registered lobbyist with the Gephardt Group and former DNC General Chairman and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who was registered for Ballard Spahr LLP as recently as 2012.

Exactly why it is rigged just as Trump is telling you. Vote Trump!!
The corruption in the DNC?! Say it isn't so! Bernie was right from the start! Trump was right from the start! Feel the Bern - Sanders sold you out instead of uncovering the corruption!
Trump needs to run with this one - attack the DNC as an organization, dumbocrat politicians as participants and show voters that there is an outsider alternative!
States should require primary elections, and then the delegates who represent the voters should support the candidates chosen by majority vote in their districts.
Not to mention lobbyists from the loud garish fabric and pantsuit industries!
they know how to mike the system and make big bucks doing it.
