Bernie Sanders couldn't even win his childhood block.

The Brooklyn native lost by a 20-point margin in his home borough to Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's Democratic primary, falling some 60,000 votes short in Kings County despite his local roots — and weeks of canvassing, rallies and a debate at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Sanders, who grew up along the 1500 block of E. 26th St., lost his old Midwood neighborhood, 56-38.
