Sanders: 'We are going to win New York'

http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/04/bernie-sanders-new-york-win-221454

A little more than two weeks ahead of the primary in his home state of New York, Bernie Sanders said Friday that his campaign would win the state, which is also the adopted home of Hillary Clinton.

“We are going to win New York," the Vermont senator told "CBS This Morning" in a segment teasing his longer sit-down interview with the hosts and his wife, Jane Sanders.

Sanders noted the 18,000 people who attended his rally in the South Bronx on Thursday evening, calling it a "good start."

"We’re going to do rallies all over the state, and I think we have a good shot at this," he said.

And by "in trouble" I mean they know it's over if they don't win. Usually a campaign tried to lower expectations in order to avoid the narrative of a "letdown." When they start raising expectations, you know they really have nothing left to lose.

See Rubio in Florida or Kasich in Ohio as two recent examples.

in a state and they get to know him. I think Hillary made a rather large faux pas right out of the gate with her "real New Yorker" ad. After all, of the two there is only one bona fide "New Yorker" and it isn't Hillary.
