I suggest that you do the survey at isidewith.com I found that I'm 91% aligned with Bernie and Jill Stein. And I'm 89% aligned with Hillary. The libertarian candidate and Donny were a lot lower. I way more prefer bernie from and an ideological stand point but Hillary is not a bad 2nd choice for me.
This is an important point. Hillary's *policies* are very close to Bernie's (or, at least, *far* closer than anyone else's). People who vote on the content of a politician's beliefs and message will gladly vote for one if the other is no longer running. People who care more about the "I support X" part than the "because X will be good for America" part are, well... not thinking things through, I'll say, charitably.
The problem is, Hilay's policies are what she says now to get elected. What are her intentions on actually carrying them through? Will she be like Obama who dropped so much of his election platform because he didn't want to disappoint his corporate backers or will she be like FDR who had a genuine change of heart and followed through on the policies he adooted toboutflank Huey Long?
If the first, she'll be slightly better than Trump; if the second, and she can carry the party with her, she could kill the Republicans for at least a generation.
