Given how far down he started in Nevada, and how much ground he had to make up, a tie would be fine. Especially in a state with nearly half the caucusers likely to be non-white. If he makes significant inroads into the Latino community, that leaves Clinton's advantage with black Americans less important and widens his 'path' to victory. I'd prefer an outright win, of course, but I'll be happy with a tie, and not terribly worried about a loss of a few points.
