Trump is nothing but a loud-mouthed, self-aggrandizing tool, with no policy statements other than keeping Muslims out of the country and making Mexico pay for a big wall. Other than anger at the government over the economy, there is nothing else that binds these two groups of supporters.
If Trump's supporters were to decide they've had enough of his B.S. and fascist attitude, I could see some of them crossing over to Sanders. But the idea of any more than a few fringe Sandera supporters backing Trump is absolutely ludicrous because they would actually have to believe Trump isn't a lying, self-promoting sack of shit. And that is most certainly not the case. Trump fully represents Wall Street and big business.
