13006980, Clinton will win NY and it won't be that close...

It's not her message, it's the mechanics.

New York is a closed primary and you have to register your party affiliation months in advance. A lot of Sanders supporters are either late to the party or new to the game and aren't registered to vote in this election today. Key words being: THIS ELECTION TODAY.

On the flipside, HRC's campaign apparatus is built to mobilize her constituencies and get them to the polls. She's got the ground game on lock and that's gonna be crucial in running up the score in New York City.

Meanwhile, Bernie's got 30,000 people coming to see him at a rally with only a third of those folks actually eligible to vote in this election today.

This is the difference between being popular and being effective and understanding that, at the end of the day, the important thing is winning. Clinton's team is going to win because they understand the battlefield better than their opponent.

Don't expect it to be close, votes beat enthusiasm.
