Her current unfavorability rating is still above 50%. And those are not the Bernie people. And in fact, her unfavorability rating has risen a couple of points since she supposedly clinched the nomination. That should scare her supporters.
She will win against Trump only because
1. His unfavorability rating is around 70%
and
2. A surprising number of people who despise her will be willing to hold their noses and vote for her.
When this entire campaign started a lot of observers commented that no one with Hillary's unfavorable rating back then had ever gotten the nomination, let alone the White House. She will enter office widely despised. Just because she'll be less despised than the Donald isn't exactly a warm endorsement.

You mean like how Palin as VP was supposed to appeal to Hillary voters in 08?

I think some of them could appeal to "moderate" or "pro-life" Democrats or Independents.
