"Full Frontal" host Samantha Bee Monday night returned from a two-weeks-long hiatus to define superdelegates.

"First of all, political parties aren't the government, they're semi-private clubs," Bee explained. "If they wanted, they could use a sorting hat to pick their nominees."

"Superdelegates' only job is to act in the best interest of the party," she continued. "That's why they have never tried to override the will of the voters. Not because they care about us — they don't. But because pissing off the voters is bad for their party"
