She's wrong.
Her supporters in 08 were Democrats. Sanders supporters are largely independents (which is the reason he's lost many closed primaries, and won nearly all open primaries). Independents are far less likely to vote for her than Clinton Democrats were to vote for Obama.
Also, in the last polls, her unfavorability rating and Trumps were dead even. Republicans are far more likely to vote against a candidate out of hatred, so that equal hatred helps Trump far more than it helps her against him. Trump is now ahead of her in the national polls, and his numbers are rising and hers are falling, and we still have not seen the indictment that's certainly coming.
I was pretty disappointed that even in his discussion of it not being over, like all other media has for months, when he turned to a future general election point, he assumes it's a Trump vs Clinton matchup like it's a forgone conclusion and the primaries are over.

In the end she needs Sanders' supporters. Her job as a leader, is to reach out to Sanders and his supporters and get them behind her. I still think she and the DNC need to give him the primary Prime Time spot during the convention, and they need to give other members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus a large percentage of the time during the convention. That move, along with a good progressive VP candidate (I think Dennis Kucinich for reasons I've detailed before) would go a long way to helping secure the nomination. And as pointed out by @newtboy, her supporters in '08 were Democrats, so it isn't nearly the same story as what Sanders is doing now. The Democrats will continue to vote for her, it is the independents that you need to turn out and vote against Trump. Trump is doing better than expected at getting the Republicans behind him, and their hatred of Clinton can't be understated. Not to mention of course fears of indictment and other issues ahead of Clinton, such as the likely hood the Republicans would try to impeach her first thing... even if they don't impeach her, they'll stonewall congress like they have against Obama anyhow. They need to get the independents out to vote against the Republicans and have a Senate change as well, and I don't see them really working to that end yet, which mystifies me to no end.

@RFlagg And they won't stonewall Bernie?

Come on. That is pretty much guaranteed.

That is the real problem these days, and the internet hasn't helped. How do we get people to move off "winner take all"? "My way or no way?"

We are in deep yogurt.

Here's the plus side to being on the dark side of 60. I won't be around when the whole thing collapses.

I hope.
