While Hillary Clinton and her supporters are more middle of the road, I think they are still Democrats and support many of the same policies that Bernie supporters do (I am a Bernie supporter myself). She's pretty centrist and in some cases right wing; that that, unfortunately, doesn't set her outside of the party.
