If Sanders can beat Clinton, he can beat the Republicans in the GE

Any person who is saying Clinton is "supremely qualified" or infers that she is beyond a doubt the most intelligent, well-informed, most experienced, and best all around candidate then that same person would have to agree to beat her would be a feat of incredible proportion.

In addition, given her massive name recognition and incredible institutional support (i.e. the DNC is practically trying to hand her the nomination) beating her would also be an epic and historic upset.

Thus, if Sanders could accomplish the above, in essence be the David to her Goliath, then I think he could expected to beat anyone from the Republican clown car.

Seriously, Rubio is a more formidable opponent than Clinton? Cruz? Trump?

Hello?!?
