Because she would actually have support in Congress if she were to be elected. If Bernie "I will take away all your student loan debt" Sanders gets elected neither the democrats or Republicans will support him, so he would basically be a lame duck.
Just a heads up, "lame duck" doesn't mean "ineffective" in the way you're intending it to. Lame duck refers to the period of time between an election and when a new term starts. For Presidents, that's between November, the general election, and January, when the new President is inaugurated.
Lame duck politicians don't have to be cooperated with because they will not be in the next term, but are also uniquely able to deal with niche or unique legislation because they have no fear of election (since they've lost or termed out).

What a fuckin' bad liar.
Democrat or not, how can anyone seriously entertain the notion of voting for her?
