If the DNC hadn't helped her, and the superdelegates didn't decide to go with her from the start, how exactly was she going to win?

We must have different definitions of 'almost lost' Nothing the DNC did actually helped her. It didn't sway voters in the least. Do you really think potential Bernie voters were swayed by the superdelegates? They weren't. If anything it made them fight harder. It was practically a foregone conclusion that Hillary was going to be the nominee barring her being put in jail. (Which was never going to happen anyway). The perception is that Superdelegates helped her. But if that's the case... Obama wouldn't have been President last time around. Obama was down in the Superdelegate count too.
