Hillary's reaction if she loses Iowa and NH to Sanders?

She'll react by winning NV, crushing Sanders in South Carolina, and then wrapping things up on Super Tuesday. Not that complicated. Iowa and NH are demographically two of Sanders' best states.

This and I'm a Sanders supporter. He could maybe be competitive in Nevada, but he's going to get whooped in South Carolina and the Southern states on Super Tuesday. Only thing winning Iowa and New Hampshire would do is extend the process out another month or two.

Obviously she'll melt whenever water touches her.

I will say Iowa and New Hampshire, demographically, are probably the best states Bernie has.

At the end of the day, Bernie Sanders is not going to be the second coming of Barack Obama.  Hillary Clinton will simply redouble her efforts in subsequent states, and fight like hell for the nomination, which will benefit her long-term.  Look at 2007-08 -she was a much better candidate towards the end than she was in the beginning of that contest.  Besides, we need a motivated base, and a competitive primary would do that nicely.  

I agree. It's going to be Hillary who will capture the nomination. Here is a list of the pledged delegates available from early to mid-March. (sorted by most important)

March  1 Texas    208
March 15 Florida    207
March 15 Illinois    160
March 15 Ohio       148
March  8 Michigan    133
March 15 North Carolina 107
March  1 Georgia     98
March  1 Massachusetts     95
March  1 Virginia     95
March  1 Minnesota     78
March 15 Missouri     75
March  1 Tennessee  68
March  1 Colorado     64
March  5 Louisiana     54
March  1 Alabama     52

Hillary will at her absolute worst win at least 60% of these delegates which is all she needs to ultimately become the nominee.
