I think the fake news might actually be right on this mark.... BUT they seem to ignore that TRUMP HIMSELF made appeals to Bernie voters...because he KNEW that they, too, were sick of the business as usual.
Trump also said that Bernie, though crazy, was essentially right regarding trade, and how the American worker was not being put first by Washington.
One more thing: didn’t Trump go to VERMONT and do a rally there? I recall him packing out a theater somewhere in Bernie country, and even though he lost VERMONT bigly, it showed me he really wanted to be President of everyone.
If you read the article (I know, how quaint) the not only mentioned it, they prominently include Trump’s tweets to Sanders supporters. Pretty good article really, the numbers are very specific and seem right to me.
Of course they may very well have been balanced out by #nevertrumper Pubs.
