This is good news. The Clinton disinformation campaign is not working as they had hoped. They didn't realize that Sander's supporters actually check sources.

The Clintons really don’t get it: False attacks and failed strategies as Hillary repeats 2008
How Clinton lost is as telling as the historic margin she lost by. Just as in 2008, she presented as a hawk to a party bone-weary of war. Now as then, her high-dollar, tone-deaf, leak-prone campaign telegraphed every punch. Her backers harp on her experience — but experience only counts if you learn from it. Eight years later, Clinton makes the exact same mistakes. Still, party elites have bet the farm she’ll have it all sorted out by October. Dangerous wager.

She isn’t learning from this race, either. Her response to New Hampshire has been to double-down on her strategy. How such a bright person could be such a slow learner is a mystery. Her worst moments prior to New Hampshire were her ham-handed attempts to take down Sanders. Chelsea distorted his healthcare plans, Bill ripped his character. Hillary accused him of an “artful smear” for suggesting, obviously, that banks give to super PACs to influence policy. She voiced “concern” over reports he’d mingled with real live lobbyists at Democratic fundraisers. But to many voters the Clintons attacking Sanders’ integrity was like draft-avoider George W. Bush swift-boating Purple Heart-winner John Kerry — except this time it backfired, and her whole family took the hit.
Nobody likes dynasties anyway.

Let's say that Clinton gets the nomination with an insignificant margin given by the super-delegates.
I was wondering if Sanders supporters would vote for her in a general election. I guess a lot of them won't.

Don't delude yourself. These are people who believe socialism can work. In other words, they're drone morons who vote for the Democrat regardless of what he/she has done to get there.

They'd vote against the Republican candidate, rather than for Hilary, but she'd still get their vote.
