I share his sentiments. What some berners don't understand is that New Yorkers are true blue. They are also extremely loyal and will form ranks to protect their own. In this case, that is a fellow Democrat. There is no doubt there is yuge millennial enthusiasm for the independent new guy, but New Yorkers really do not want to lose to a Republican and bernie's "unqualified" insult puts that at risk. Dems don't like it.
