NY: One advantage for Bernie in this closed state

Is that he won't lose working class white voters (especially union members) to Trump. NY has 2:1 dem vs gop registration, the bulk of these voters are registered as Dem. If it was an open state, unfortunately Bernie would lose a good chunk of these voters to Trump.

Instead these voters only choice is pretty much Bernie or not voting. Thus the name of the game for Bernie is getting the vote out.

So I'd be surprised if there were too many of them, making that decision so far in advance of even Iowa.

like usual. Sander's supporters are telling you why they are choosing him over Hillary. Trump supporters fell for the selling of a product. How many times have we mentioned her financial ties. How many times have we mentioned her hawkish stances. How many times have we stated we can achieve more than what she offers? Just because you choose to not see this , does not mean it isn't out there. Unless you were really just trying to be cutesy.
