Facebooks Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash has about 450,000 members - Hillary is not liked, another group Hillary Bernie 2016 has a whopping 32 members - doesn't look like Sanders supporters even want him taking 2nd place - and Bernie supporters are pretty head strong in this article - Angered Bernie Sanders online supporters say they will 'never vote for Hillary Clinton' and threaten to spoil their ballots or vote Trump
Poll: 1-in-4 Bernie Sanders supporters won't vote for Hillary Clinton - POLITICO

It isn't going to happen. You will note, he did not endorse her and he isn't quitting and in the end as Sanders has noted many times, it's not about him. With or without him the battle to wrest the power from people like Clinton will continue.

Which of course would be a lie.

The stakes are too high not to, if for no other reason that the next president will be picking so many Supreme Court justices.
Bernie just wants to be on the "good side" of the DNC for when Hillary is indicted and removed from the race. He will then be the only candidate standing for them.

Gotta love Bernie. He's a good man and I'm sorry he didn't start campaigning earlier.

She's going to have to find a way to put some of his agenda on her plate anyway because he had so many voters -- and that means a great many Democrats want that agenda. One thing that's good about Hillary is that she isn't so fixed in her ideas that she can't be swayed to do something else. She & Sanders had similar goals, they had different ways of getting there.

The problem is no one will believe her. She is totally untrustworthy. Nothing she says can be believed. All of the things she can promise were also promised by Obama and lasted until election night.

The people had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama and know at best Hillary is no better.
