As a NYer, I can attest. Like Sinatra says, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But then we hear your wife saying that a Daily News interview was too tough.

You know what's tough? Sitting before the Benghazi Committee with everyone in the room throwing haymakers at your head for 10 hours. I saw the Daily News interview transcripts and that was no Insuiqistion. It was a very reasonable interview, a normal part of the vetting process for the toughest, most important job in the world: President of the United States.
The fact that your husband thinks it was too tough just shows how sheltered a life he has in 26 years in Congress. Like Harry Truman said-'If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.'
Bernie is now admitting that NY is not going so well. The polls have consistently shown him down double digits since he started campaigning here a month ago.
"Speaking to thousands of supporters in Manhattan's Washington Square Park on Thursday night, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders acknowledged that New York’s primary next Tuesday will be “a tough race for us."
“We are taking on someone who obviously was the United States senator here for eight years,” he said, prompting boos from the crowd at the oblique mention of Hillary Clinton, his opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination who represented New York in the Senate from 2001 to 2009.
“And we have a system here in New York where independents can’t get involved in the Democratic primary. For young people who had not previously registered and want to do it today, just can’t do it,” he said, prompting two more sets of boos. “So it’s going to be a tough primary for us.”

Tonight is kind of a Hail Mary for Bernie, hoping it will somehow change the dynamics of the NY race. Unlikely as Hil is a very good debater.

"Banks, very big ones, undergird the New York City economy."
"Whether they are so big that they pose a threat to the financial system and the nation’s economy as a whole has been a point of contention in the Democratic race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and it is heating up ahead of the New York primary on Tuesday."
"Mrs. Clinton’s and Mr. Sanders’s reactions on Wednesday to the failure of five large banks to pass a test under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law characterized their sharp differences on the issue."
"Mrs. Clinton called on regulators to increase pressure on the banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, to clean up their act — or else."
"Mr. Sanders jumped straight to the “or else.” He said the Wall Street giants were already too big and should be broken up now."

What happens to the NY economy if you dismantle all the big banks immediately? But if anything, this process shows that Dodd-Frank is working. There is a process in place. Let's follow the process.
Yes. We know who Hillary is in NY, and your lies and smears against her won''t work here, Bernie. Yes, NY is a tough place for you. As you can't stand the heat, you are not qualified to be President.

And Bernie doesn't know his audience. His mania for attacking the big banks may not be the greatest idea in NY.
This has always been his weakness: he doesn't play to specific audiences but assumes they're all the same. Larry David really hit on something of Bernie's problem in that SNL skit about how he lost Iowa.

In any case, the anti Wall St. argument isn't necessarily a huge winner in NY.
"Local Democratic operatives said Sanders attacks on Clinton’s ties to Wall Street, which may resonate elsewhere, do not appear to be sinking in with an electorate that knows her personally from her years as a senator and might not play well here on a debate stage. “New York union members know what she did after 9/11,” said Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. “She didn’t come across while she was senator here as being a cheerleader for Wall Street.”
"A ringing Clinton endorsement from the New York Daily News that simultaneously eviscerated Sanders as a “fantasist who’s at passionate war with reality” also threatens to deprive the senator of much-needed momentum. The paper, read primarily by African-American and working class New Yorkers, targets exactly the voters among whom Sanders was hoping to make inroads in the five boroughs."
"And Clinton’s support from progressive leaders like New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Public Advocate Letitia James — politicians elected with the backing of the progressive Working Families Party that has endorsed Sanders — have validated the former senator as she campaigns across the city. “Thursday’s debate is a chance for the 9 million New Yorkers who already twice elected Hillary Clinton to the U.S. Senate to see why she is the most qualified candidate in the race,” Mark-Viverito told POLITICO.
