Clinton tightens grip on New YorkOn Hillary Clinton's home turf, there are few signs that Bernie Sanders is poised for a major upset next week.
By ANNIE KARNI 04/15/16 03:20 PM EDT
Clinton allies attribute Sanders inability to move the dial here so far even after a string of momentum-building primary and caucus victories to a confluence of factors including the Clintons deep ties to their adopted home state; her strong backing from progressive leaders here; a closed primary system that does not allow independents to vote; and Sanders consistent inability to break through with communities of color.
The Vermont senators own missteps, and his miscalculation of the power of the New York media, only compounded his predicament.

Bernie doesnt know how to handle big city press. That will be critical in the general.
