Not sure that I agree.
Bernie is bringing in the young voters--namely, those who aren't known for being particularly involved in politics beyond clicking a "like" button.
Would they vote for Hillary? Doubtful.

Which is irrelevant, because unlike the voters that Bernie is bringing out, the minorities and women who are currently voting for Hillary would--by all accounts--also vote for Bernie if he were the sole Democratic candidate.
So, in reality, Bernie is changing the equation to winning by bringing out the youth vote and, arguably, others who typically would not vote for the Democratic party.
Hillary, on the other hand, hasn't changed the equation at all, as she hasn't widened the Democratic voter base nor broadened the Party's appeal. Instead, she's simply relying on the historic Democratic base--but she isn't increasing it in any way.

Are you forgetting that this same claim is essentially all that Hillary has made as well?
The DNC has rigged the game so that Hillary will be the nominee. The whole charade was preordained from the outset. All because Hillary believes--and has convinced others that---she deserves to win.
