In politics, perception is reality. That perception may not be true, or it could just be a stereotype, but once that perception sets in, it is very hard to change the minds of voters.

Super Tuesday is the moment when reality sets in for voters on whether Sen. Bernie Sanders is a winner or a loser. It's the day when Democratic voters as a whole will decide whether Sanders has the message and resources to win his party's nomination.

Sure, only 15 states will have gone to the polls by March 2. And Sanders did win New Hampshire and arguably tied in Iowa. So, it's ridiculous to say Super Tuesday is do or die, right?
