Will he? That's a different story. We'll find out tomorrow. One thing is certain: Bernie is gaining supporters and Hillary is losing them. She started with a whole mess of them a year ago but they are slowing shifting in Bernie's direction.

Clinton is losing ground. This is a trend--Sanders steadily (and sometimes dramatically) gaining ground; Clinton losing ground. Voters are finding out how electable Sanders is, and how much better his policies are for most people than Clinton's are, and also that he really is the real deal--honest and trustworthy, not beholden to anyone but the People.
And the more they find these things out, the more they move to Sanders if they were Clinton supporters or undecided.
So, yes, quite clearly he CAN win New York, despite the stacked deck as to closed primary and purged voters. He's now within 6% in NY, I understand. That's what he does--comes from behind. He's Seabiscuit!!!
