And btw, why did all the candidates focused on NYC and not about the other NY cities? What about Buffalo? Do they not tour the state? Or is because the gross vote is mostly on NYC?

If she loses her home state, that would her 10th loss in a row and makes her look extremely weak and vulnerable for the GE (despite what some of her supporters will tell you).
It would definitely show Bernie to be the stronger candidate with the excitement and enthusiasm on his side and how can she go into the convention with all of those super delegates if she's lost all of those states? PA and CA are close as well. If Bernie manages to pull off victories there then it looks absolutely terrible for Hillary. Not to mention, national polls now have them tied or Bernie ahead, meaning Bernie's message is beginning to reach more people (probably even some of those people who voted for Hillary early on).
Also Hillary's polling against republicans right now is terrible. I know it's too early but the fact Cruz can tie her and Kasich can beat her despite the mess going on with the party says a lot. Plus most Sanders' supporters have already said they won't support her in the fall and she does terribly among independent voters. The media won't cover it and her supporters are in denial, but the democratic party is just as split as the republican party is tbh. And this is not an Obama situation where everyone will join together in the end. It's an idealogical fight on the democratic side that can't be solved by simply 'uniting" the party.
edit: And let's not forget that if it wasn't for Cruz or Trump, Hillary would have the highest unfavorables of any candidate in modern history. With the likelihood of both Cruz and Trump being denied the nomination, it could be bad for Hillary.
