Some Bernie supporters will vote for Hillary in the GE because of party loyalty.
Some will vote for her because they consider her to be the "lesser of two evils".
Some will vote for her because they think she will make a good president.
Some will vote for her because of the urge to go along with the crowd.
Some will not vote for her because she's too conservative.
Some will not vote for her because of her record.
Some will not vote for her because she's dishonest.
Some will not vote for her because of ideology.
Some will not vote for her because they believe she would be a lousy president.
Some will not vote for her because they believe she's unfit to hold public office.
The list could go on ad-infinitum.
In the end, people vote (or, don't vote at all) as individuals with their own reasons. All of them valid in their own eyes.
That's why it's called democracy.
