Sanders Needed to Win New York

Nate Cohn: “If you had told me one year ago that Bernie Sanders would manage to survive in the Democratic primary race all the way until New York, I would have been surprised and impressed.”

“But if you judge Mr. Sanders by the standard his campaign now wants him to be judged by — as a serious candidate with a shot at the nomination — the result Tuesday night was terrible.”

“New York, like every contest at this stage, was a state he needed to win. The result confirms that he is on track to lose the pledged delegate race and therefore the nomination.”
