Plus I think if the GoP had something really good to attack Sanders with, they'd probably have used it already. They generally start smearing top Democratic candidates right after the previous election has finished.
He's also kind of unique that the typical smear against him is that he's a socialist, and right now that label is actually what makes him interesting and attractive to people.

The GOP right now is playing up the narrative that the DNC is going to steal the nomination from Bernie again. Fox News and Steve Bannon are all about how poor Bernie Sanders is getting screwed by the Democratic party. You'd think they were full on Bernie supporters, the way they are going on.
It works great for Trump if they play that up for now, and the Bernie Bros are playing right into their hands. Either Bernie gets the nomination, and we have 4 months of ads terrifying everyone of Bernie's policies, or it will all be about how Bernie got screwed by the DNC.
