I really hope he keeps this momentum! I think my greatest fear is the democratic vote being split in 2016 and the country ending up with another chapter in the Bush trilogy.
However, if the choice comes down to those two it is clear Hillary has to win the election. At worst, Hillary can protect the gains that have been made under Obama. At least she's not a blood relative of Bill either, so technically its slightly less dynastic. And if we have to compare what the Clinton presidency was like vs either of the Bush presidencies, there's one obvious answer which was best.
I don't think we need to worry about that. By the general election, either Clinton or Sanders will have dropped out -- most likely Sanders -- because of losing the democratic primary.
I doubt any Democrats will start voting Republican just because their favorite candidate didn't make it past primaries

If Clinton or Bush wins, from 1988-2020 (32 years) either a Bush or Clinton would have been POTUS with an 8-year Obama break.
