would a Bernie supporter vote for him. He is the complete antithesis of everything Bernie stands for. Holy hell.

5. There is one commonality

Both of them recognized that the existing system was fundamentally dysfunctional and that there was a rising demand for populism: government that actually represented the best interests of the people more from the ground up than the top down.

Their major divergence is that Bernie was authentic in his long held beliefs, for *rump it was just a costume to wear in order to fool the masses and obtain power. The classic wolf in sheep's clothing, and to some degree it worked, mostly with angry, low information voters.

6. Bernie attracted a number of disaffected republicans. After he lost the primary to Hillary, they went back to

being republicans. These were votes Bernie could not redirect to Hillary.

8. Who is Tulsi Gabbard?

As I recall she was a prominent Sanders Institute Fellow until she went to work for Donald Trump.

9. Oh please

Every candidate has former supporters who run to latch on to a winner. The fault is theirs, not the candidate's.

4. If he was talking Bernie Sanders, definitely think some Dems got so ticked in 2016 their guy lost primaries,

they either voted for trump directly, or indirectly by voting 3rd Party or sitting home, giving us trump 1.
