I don't believe for a second that she would do so. She will support the Democratic nominee, period. As will Bernie Sanders. I suppose the degree of effort either puts into the Fall campaign should they not be the nominee is subject to a number of variables, with emotions being one of them. But I think anyone who believes that either Hilary or Bernie would actively oppose the Democratic nominee, either openly or covertly, does a disservice to them.
