Hoyer: 'Superdelegate primary unnecessary'

Nothing substantial, but the unpledged superdelegate Majority Leader Steny Hoyer again addressed the fight for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Hoyer said the prolonged contest hadn't yet "opened a schism," though, “We need to be careful."

“I am going to urge both candidates to be positive in their approach.”

And on Tennessee Gov. Phil Bresden's suggestion of a superdelegate primary in June, Hoyer demurred, "You don’t necessarily have to vote to reach a decision."

UPDATE: The Post's Ben Pershing provides some very local context to the quote.

"In my early days, my younger days, I was a political leader in Prince George's County," Hoyer said. "We had what was called a 'breakfast club' -- people sat around a table just like this. We rarely ever voted. We did have, however, significant discussions in which we ultimately came to consensus. That didn't mean everybody was in unanimity but it did mean everybody agreed, 'well, that seems to be the rational conclusion to reach.' So you don't necessarily have to vote to reach such a conclusion."
