Q. Why don't Republicans have Superdelegates?
A. Republicans actually also have Superdelegates, but instead call them Supreme Court Judges! Like their Democrat counterparts, they come in at the end of a selection process and decide the overall winner.

However, unlike Democrat Superdelegates, Suprime Court Judges are not elected to represent the party at a convention, nor are they limited to choosing between Republican Candidates. In 2000, the Republicans actually decided between a Democrat and a Republican, nominating the candidate with the least votes to bypass the election and become President.
