They can't tell Bernie how bad he's really going to do in New York for fear he fires his entire team and replaces them with...oh, I don't know, Bob Shrum is still available...before Sorta-Super Tuesday rolls around. And they can't tell Bernie's supporters he's going to blow New York by epic proportions because they'll start spending those $23 donations at DraftKings or on milk for the baby. Hence, the Credibility Threshold. "Yeah, we're gonna fuckin' lose, but if we can hit forty percent of the popular vote we'll limit her gain on the day to only fifty delegates instead of 150!"
