Since 1984, there has been only one candidate in the Democratic primary who won the primary elections held that day but who lost the nomination.
If history has anything to say about Super Tuesday, it's that the winner will likely become the party's nominee.
In 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton virtually tied on Super Tuesday, although Obama had a slight victory and later become the Democratic nominee. In 2016, Sanders won four states to Clinton's seven states plus American Samoa on Super Tuesday. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders now leads the delegate count at 60 with former Vice President Joe Biden hot on his heels at 53 after dominating the South Carolina primary over the weekend.
