Bernie Sanders Voters Helped Trump Win and Here's Proof

[TheFarseer]

191. Why is Hillary Clinton entitled to some other candidate's voters?

btw - did you read to the bottom? You would have seen that in 2008, 25% of Clinton primary voters voted for McCain -yikes!

As for reasons why Sanders primary voters voted Trump or 3rd party: Sanders expanded the reach of the Democratic party to anti-establishment voters. These folks were going to cast some kind of protest vote rather than vote for an establishment candidate whether it was a misguided vote for Trump, Stein or Gary Johnson. Also, Trump courted these voters. He acted like he wanted their votes. otoh Sanders voters were largely told to shut up and fall in line if they weren't being called sexist or racist and told their agenda was stupid and unrealistic. I do not remember Clinton or Democrats emphasizing that their agenda was much more similar to Sanders' agenda than Trump's agenda. Trump was promising coal jobs and bring your jobs back from Mexico and China. Clinton Democrats said move and get an education - better advice than waiting around for something that isn't going to happen, but it sounded tone deaf and condescending. OK, I expect to be flamed mercilessly for this. I'm headed to work now, so don't expect me to reply at least until later.
