We continue our special in-depth educational series, Meet Your Superdelegates. A rare chance to get to know specific superdelegates who will be deciding the Democratic presidential nominee. We’re focusing on party elders, government officials, senior advisors, and other high profile politicians who feature prominently in television and film. And we boldly speculate whom they will back at the Democratic convention. Today’s superdelegate profile comes from the breakthrough sci-fi comedy movie sensation “Mars Attacks!”

President James Dale seeks to gain maximum public relations points by establishing friendly relations with Martians. He is persuaded to be peaceful by his advisors.  He has the sort of audaciously bold instincts that Hillary Clinton displayed when she brought peace to Ireland to Kosovo, therefore he’s squarely in her camp.
