In addition to the 247 delegates up for grabs, New York Democrats also have 44 superdelegates, most, if not all, have already committed to Clinton.

Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon, speaking to CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day”, was referring to comments made earlier in the week by Donald Trump, who said he and Sanders were the victims of a “corrupt deal” in the primary process. That would require blow-out victories in upcoming states, big and small, including NY.
For months, Clinton has used the gun issue to cast Sanders as a minion for gun makers and out of step with a Democratic primary electorate that favors tighter firearms restrictions.
The campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders fought on Tuesday over which one was more credible, a volley that continued the acrimonious exchanges between the Democratic presidential candidates.
“It is worth noting that a significant number of minority voters in New York City are undecided”. His supporters met the remark with loud cheers, and many then bought pins that said “Hillary for Prison”. Another 16 percent said they would vote for a third-party candidate, and 8 percent said they would not vote in a Clinton-Trump race. The new count contrasts with prior projections from The Post, Bloomberg Politics and The Associated Press that indicated Clinton would probably win the majority of the 78 delegates in Colorado because of her support from party leaders with superdelegate status. But he faces the daunting challenge of needing to win 68 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates, party officials who can vote for any candidate, if he hopes to clinch the Democratic nomination. However, the poll reported that 33% of registered Democratic voters didn’t really consider Sanders, who born in Brooklyn, a New Yorker. Clinton, although still having a healthy lead against the Vermont senator, lost eight of the last nine contests.
Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by 13 percentage points in NY, just a week before the state holds its primary, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday. When asked for details, campaign spokespeople said they had none. As Clinton super-ally David Brock boasted to a roomful of wealthy liberal donors that night, his team of opposition researchers has amassed enough material on the celebrity businessman to “knock Trump Tower down to the sub-basement”.

But the Observer’s editors said they did not endorse Trump because he “is the father-in-law of the Observer’s publisher”, but rather because he is “giving millions of disillusioned Americans a renewed sense of objective and opportunity is”. The caucus system imposes artificial barriers to participation that limit turnout to the most dedicated supporters of each candidate.
