Is Sanders actually more than let's say 25% likely to get the nod?

No.

To get the nomination he needs something extraordinary to happen. Something like Hillary developing a major health problem or the FBI indicting her over her private email server.

Trump scares me almost as much as Clinton

Someone pointed out a silver lining: the notion of President Trump might make progressives to be slightly less enthusiastic about imperial presidency. I'm not holding my breath, though.
