Polls show Bernie has a better chance in the GE. Hillary will energize the GOP base which is not unified behind Trump.

History says the GOP is supposed to win the GE because we are completing a two-term Dem presidency. Republican voters will turn out to defeat HRC. The Democratic Party needs to do something bold in 2016 to get a relatively high turnout i.e. 55% or greater. I believe the best chance by far is Bernie in the GE. He will turnout people who don't vote, especially Millenials. Even Republicans will vote for Bernie, e.g. veterans.
