To become a Democratic party presidential nominee, Clinton or Sanders need at least 2,383 of the total 4,763 delegates, including 712 super delegates who are party office bearers and are not elected as part of the presidential primaries. Super delegates are independent and are free to vote to any of the candidates.
When Hillary steals the nomination from Bernie there maybe and opportunity for the Republican nominee to get some Bernieacs on-board.
That will never happen.
The Bernie voters will not vote for Hillary when she super delegates the vote and she will feel the Bern because they will stay home or vote Trump.

Without a doubt, many of these are future Trump voters if he gets the nomination. They are white, anti-establishment, anti-interventionist and anti-globalist trade deals. If they are not eaten up with socialism or global-warmism they won’t be natural Hillary voters.
I do not, however, see them moving to any other Republican nominee . . . at least not Cruz or any other neocon.
