Regardless of whether it's true this is likely to kill him, his candidacy is all about looking like he can win.
It creates a much worse narrative overall than he would have had, though I think the exit polls suggesting that he won the Latino vote in Nevada also provide the basis of a narrative that he has proven he can win the non-white vote. That's fairly big for Bernie even if losing Nevada is a bit of a setback.
