Hillary Clinton got what she needed in New York, a solid victory that stopped Bernie Sanders’s weeks-long winning streak. But any cause for celebration among her supporters probably will be tempered by the reality that her unexpectedly difficult nomination battle has taken a significant toll on her candidacy. …

But Trump’s problems do not diminish the fact that, standing alone, Clinton looks much weaker than recent nominees. CONT.
