The only message coming from those voters is that they are tired of corrupt government, corrupt elections, and outsourcing our industries. Those are the points Bernie or blue collar workers have in common with Trump. I don’t see those points as a dilution of the conservative message.
They are not going to be claiming they voted for Trump because he was promising amnesty, or welfare, or $15/hr minimum wage, or abortion on demand, or Muslim tolerance, or free college, or banning school prayer or homeschooling, or mandatory union membership. Because he has not promised those things.

I do acknowledge that your description is apt regarding these voters. However, they have fallen for the big con.
The fact of the matter is that Bernie was elected to the Senate in 1991. That means he has been a part of the corrupt government for 25 years and has been the beneficiary of at least 4 of the corrupt elections.
We also know that Trump himself has outsourced our industries to Mexico and China. In addition, his daughter has done the same with her fashion line.
It is sad how many people are so easily fooled.
