As I understand it superdelegates are there to prevent a really bad cantidate or fix things if something happens along the way.. Like if you figure out the leading cantidate is a rapist and also the whole world changes after the first round and public opinion swings toward another more appropriate cantidate.
Is there a world where the superdelegates might back Bernie to prevent Joe Biden if opinion swings against him because the current circumstances?

Super delegates were set up to allow more delegates to be chosen from the voting party members. Super delegates are elected officials and elected party officials that would stop people from being elected to delegate slots if they were in the mix. For instance my senatorial district has a total of 7 national delegates and 3 super delegates, if not for the super delegate allocations we would have only the 7 national delegates. They have no other real purpose. Contrary to what the media would have you believe no delegate to nationals has been chosen yet, and they won't be until they are certified by their state conventions. While they may be pledged, until they sign in at the national convention, and vote in caucus at the national convention, nothing is in stone. Most delegates do vote as they are pledged but they are not required to.

In Oklahoma they're normally elected at the state convention which we're not going to have because of the Corona virus. They are having an Internet vote of the delegates to elect the super delegates sometime in April in our state. Super delegates are normally very well connected both statewide and nationally. I've been asked to vote for a former governor and A former candidate for Congress. Both of them would be DNC supportive. Since I'm not a delegate I do not plan on getting involved.
I'd bet that, if they intervene to stop Biden, they'd do so in a way to replace him with someone other than Sanders. I think they'd prefer to lose again to Trump than to win with Bernie.
