One reason I keep saying Sanders will not win Brooklyn is... HRC ROOM [View all]

A lot of the new residence in northwestern Brooklyn are not registering as Democrats but as independents. And independents can not vote in our primaries. While the longtime residents who lean Democratic are most likely registered Democrats.

Also while Sanders will have strength in the northwest of Brooklyn his support will drop off quickly once you get east of the BQE/Gowanus Expressway with the likely exception of Park Slope. All the South Brooklyn communities of Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Mills Basin, Bath Beach, Coney Island, Brighten Beach, and Marine Park will be strong for Hillary.

Also central and eastern sections like Bedford Stuyvesant, East New York, Canarsie, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Crown Heights and Flatlands will be strong for Hillary.

Sanders really has only 4 neighborhoods he can win and it is not enough. These neighborhoods get a lot of press coverage because mddia people live there but they not enough for Sanders nor even a given.
