The simple fact is that no one wants to vote for Hillary or Sanders, so a very low voter turnout.
Trump has energized the GOP voters, and there is over 50% increase in Republican voter registration and turn out. This is not to say that he is getting the vote, because he isn't. He is getting barely less than half the total votes cast on the GOP side.
Therefore:
Hillary will have a hard time beating any GOP candidate, IF she only gets a small portion of Democrat votes.
Any GOP candidate (including Trump) should be able to easily defeat Hillary in the general election IF the Dems have a diminished voter turnout.
Independents are leaning toward the right, so Hillary will probably not get that much help from them.
So, you can dream any dream you want, but the general election votes have not been cast yet. There are a lot of different theories and predictions. The Dem's have not won until the fat Hillary sings.
