Let's be real here, Sanders would probably win. What '16 boiled down to for many Democrat was that Hillary had earned a nomination in '08 and didn't get one, so the party "owed" her, especially after she dropped out, endorsed Obama, then served under him drama-free. To do otherwise than give her the nomination would be effectively to rob the potential first female presidential nominee after she'd earned more primary votes than many real nominees. In a rematch, none of that would apply, as Clinton got her nomination when the party closed ranks behind her to fend of Sanders, and thus cashed in her chips. The house doesn't owe her anything more. And her merits as a candidate at this point aren't as good as Sanders'.
