Sanders Hopes to Stop Clinton In New York
“A New York primary that once looked like a sure thing for Hillary Clinton looms as a pivotal showdown in the Democratic presidential race, with rival Bernie Sanders hoping to embarrass her in her adopted state with a strong showing that would raise doubts about her electability,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Both campaigns see New York as a prize with one of two potential outcomes: A Clinton victory that deprives Mr. Sanders of one of his best remaining chances to cut into her delegate lead, or a Sanders upset that would advance his argument to superdelegates that she is a risky bet in the general election.”

Sanders Prepares Strong Push In New York
Washington Post: “To capitalize on his fresh momentum, Sanders plans an aggressive push in New York, modeled after his come-from-behind victory a few weeks ago in Michigan. He intends to barnstorm the state as if he were running for governor. His advisers, spoiling for a brawl, have commissioned polls to show which contrasts with Clinton — from Wall Street to fracking — could do the most damage to her at home.”
“The intensified and scrappy approach by Sanders comes as Clinton is eager to pivot to the general election. Clinton keenly understands the imperative to unite Democrats for the fall campaign and, thinking that the nomination is nearly locked up, wants to spend the spring building bridges to the Sanders wing.”
“A potentially ugly primary in New York threatens to derail those efforts. Clinton’s advisers are all but urging Sanders to lay off his attacks.”
New York Set to Regain Political Influence
Joshua Spivak: “New York, once a center of America’s political world, long ago fell on hard times. Where the state was once practically guaranteed a slot on at least one of the presidential tickets, it has been many years since a New Yorker was a real contender for the presidency. And the record in Congress has been even worse –- there the state always underperformed. But that may all be changing in a hurry. Former Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination and now, thanks to the retirement of Sen. Harry Reid, (D-NV), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is the likely next Democratic Leader in the Senate. For the first time in decades, the Empire State may be a state on the political rise.”
“Schumer’s ascension may be the biggest break with history. For the better part of a century, New York was the presidential incubator. But the state has never been particularly successful in Congress. No New Yorker has ever served as Senate Majority or Minority Leader. It had one Minority Whip – the first one ever, back in 1915. Since then, no other New Yorker has served in the top two positions in the upper chamber.”
Cuomo Aides Regularly Purge Email
“Hillary Clinton isn’t the only public figure whose email practices are under scrutiny. In recent weeks, the Cuomo administration has come under fire for the implementation of a policy that mandates purging New York state workers’ emails after 90 days,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
